I have been reading and hearing about Samuel Alito on this site, many other sites, and listened to Air America, news channels, etc. and I do not want this guy on The Supreme Court.
The only way to stop his confirmation is a filibuster by the Democrats.
To me, if the Democrats do not fight to keep Samuel Alito from being on The Supreme Court and the only tool they have is the filibuster I will have lost all faith in The Democratic Party to support me.
They might not be able to keep him from being on The Supreme Court but at least they need to show me that they really care for The United States, and to do that is to fight for me and I believe many other Americans who feel the same way.
If they do not, then I believe they are in office for "special interests" only and not for The American citizen.
The Republican Party has turned this country and it's great government into a corrupt sewer of their ideals and money. They DO NOT CARE about people.
They have hurt this great country and I am so pissed that the Democratic Party has not put up a fight for it.
I am in California and Senator Feinstein said she will not filibuster, or at least that is what the latest I have heard....if that is the case, I will not vote for her if she decides to run again because I believe she is helping the enemy by not standing for The Democratic Parties ideals, which are really great, in my book.
I am not sure what Senator Boxer's take is on a filibuster but I hope she will fight...she does tend to be a tough fighter. I can only hope.
People might say I am being dramatic or foolish but with what is at stake I do not care
I should clarify that I am not giving up on The Democrats but wanting to state that if they don't trully fight to keep Alito off of The Supreme Court that it will some how hurt the over all drive to get them back into power. They need to show The American Public that they stand for truth, honesty and that they will help the public when they need assistance. They need to show that their backs are covered and that they are there for them.
I like the ideals that The Democratic Party has and I want to make sure that every person in The United States has support from our government.
If they do not fight this cause why would I belive that they would fight for other important things in our lives.
