It could not be more crystal clear that scalito is too far outside the mainstream to be confirmed - especially replacing O'Connor.
What is the point of electing dems if they don't fight for what's right?
There are 45 senators (44 if you subtract Nelson) who should be absolutely resolute against Scalito.
The Harriet lynching by the fundies proves the whole "up or down vote" was a scam. A new talking point for dems
There are apparently 45 opinions written by Scalito for Reagan that will not be released.. why should anyone vote without these "opinions"
What is the difference between 45 dem senators 40 or 35 if they do not use the fillibuster?
Scalito is NOT the best america can do even Michael Luttig questions the administration once in a while.

not fillibustering will only result in more and more younger people ignoring the political process and declines in voter turnout of the dem "base" whatever that is. Dems are a little different than repubs.. Dems don't turnout if they don't like what's going on. The republican base always votes no matter how bad their candidates are..
It's not a matter or abortion - the gift that keeps on giving to republicans - it's the best fundraising/turnout tool they've ever had.
It's about checks and balances, a president not a king, and about civil rights for all americans - not just corporate imperialism - the true republican agenda.
