It appears Bush is set to announce his new Supreme Court appointment tomorrow. Speculation has ultra-conservative judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. a likely choice. Alito is nicknamed "Scalito" and represents the neocon wet dream. The other two names floated about, Michael Luttig and Alice M. Batchelder look equally as appalling. Now that Bush seems poised to ignore the calls for a moderate and stuff an arch-conservative into the court, the question now is are the Democrats ready to fight? Read More

The constant tension between Democrats who think we have moved too far to the right and those whose who think we still need further realignment has led the Democratic party to a positon of ideological bankruptcy. The Democratic think tanks seem to believe that "liberal" views are taboo, that America is more conservative and we need to reflect that fact with new policies. Eric Alterman has an interesting article that reveals how Democrats have been manipulated into betraying their core beliefs and misinterpreting the electorate. Read More

The constitution, instead of bringing Iraqis together, now serves as another concrete example of fracture and a dangerous trend towards civil war. This piece details the slow march to the inevitable, as well as new admissions from the military. Read More

One of the main obstacles to profound reform is the presence of cynicism. Anytime we engage in a discussion of the political process it is always viewed through a jaded lens. This perspective often leads to a sense of hopelessness, when faced with the uncompromising, corrupt machine that confronts us. Political paralysis is often not a byproduct of laziness or lack of interest, but a sense that it is pointless to row against the unyielding tide of the status quo. Read More

Having just witnessed Harry Reid lavish praise on Harriet Miers, I am left to wonder why. Why have a public photo-op to endorse a nomination when there seems to be unanimious agreement that Miers is a "blank slate"? This decision by Reid represents a serious political miscalulation, basically rendering the hearings completely meaningless. Read More

Is it really all that surprising that Roberts will be confirmed so easily? I would argue that what we are seeing today has its roots in the complete strategic failure of Democrats from the outset. Read More

I just read a transcript of a speech Al Gore gave at the National Sierra Club Convention the other day. If this speech has already been diaried I apologize, but I think it deserves some recognition. Gore hammers Bush effectively, but moreso offers a vision and understanding of our moment in time that is so sorely lacking in the normal political discourse. Read More

Yesterday, the United Nations released a report on global inequality. Within this paper were shocking revelations that quantatively reveal the socioeconomic inequalities in American society. The report concludes that parts of America are as poor as the Third World. With the current debate surrounding Katrina, the timing of this report serves as further proof of a disfunctional society that the Neocon spin machine cannot deny. Read More

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak with Senator Feingold and ask him a few questions with regards to Iraq and the state of the party. I was quite impressed that, on a day when he spoke on Meet the Press, Senator Feingold took the time to speak with me, and indirectly the netroots. I hope people find this dialogue interesting because I think Senator Feingold addressed some of the key issues we routinely debate throughout the blogosphere. Read More
