So much? They haven't done it once. Maybe if the party wasn't so spineless and laughable...

Alito is replacing O'Connor. That's the swing vote. Therefore, this was a big deal. Now be scared.

I mean W was defeatable in 04, but fags and abortion loving liberals got in the say and people could not see past that. They would rather elect liars who go to war and kill innocent people than have them damn gays get to uppidy. It makes me sick.

most macho frikkin' idiots would rather bomb holes into a country then have the Queer Eye for the Straight Guys come and re-decorate their closet

Like I asked someone last night, "Who are these people that voted for Bush?....Sure as hell wasnt me!!!!"

My prayers on this one were not answered. I've been oscilating between sadness and murderousness.

No!!! The new Lacuna Coil album is coming out in April ("Karmacode") and I am interested in hearing Cristina Scabbia sing yet some more in her sexy as hell voice.

Brian "Guess I need a new sig picture...Let's go see what I have saved..." j.

Okay, Brian, LOVE the new sig!

Like I said the other day, I think we should take up a collection for that purpose. I think all the Bush-hating Ledgies alone could probably raise enough money for someone to accomplish the mission.

Here are some links to send emails thanking your senators for voting for the filibuster and against Alito:

Thank the senators who stood against Alito

We’re not going to try to put an upbeat spin on it – Samuel Alito’s confirmation today as the newest member of the Supreme Court is bad news. But we’re in this for the long haul, and the work for a more just and sustainable America will continue.

Thousands of TrueMajority members called Congress, and tens of thousands more sent letters asking senators to stand up for a filibuster and allow for a full debate of Samuel Alito’s record. Twenty-five senators did this, and in doing so showed political courage in the face of overwhelming odds. A total of 42 stood up against Judge Alito’s appointment during the final vote.

Click here to thank all the senators who voted against Alito:

http://action.truemajority.org/campa...sgu6b4r5bt35b?

It’s important to keep working hard for the type of country we want, but it’s also important to let those who stand with us know we appreciate their efforts.

According to Ralph Neas, the head of People for the American Way, "Senators who voted to extend debate did everything possible to defeat the nomination of Samuel Alito to a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court. They also upheld the Senate’s crucial role in our system of checks and balances. We believe that time will confirm the wisdom of their attempt to defeat this nominee".

Let’s show them our gratitude by sending them a thank you letter—it’ll let them know that they did the right thing and have our support.

Thanks for all that you do,

Matt Holland
TrueMajority
