OK, tried to bounce in and do this as a one liner, but rules are rules. Anyhow, bouncing around I came across this poll on Netscape News and judging from the numbers, looks like we need to be represented. Take a hike over there and give it your honest opinion.
I have been out of touch for the last 24 hours, but coming out of my haze I am thrilled to see that Kerry and Kennedy are doing their part and maybe, just maybe we'll see a real attempt to block Alito. I am fairly certain that it will be a failed filibuster, but the important thing to me is that the voice is loud and clear against this obviously partisan hack.
Should a filibuster derail things past Tuesday, it will make a real difference. It is not important what Hatch, or Santorum, or Spector have to say. It matters not what Russert, Blitzer, or Matthews whine about... they are not relevent to the greater cause. The time is now to gain a spine.... there are millions waiting in the wings that will speak up with their vote, if only there is a party who emulates their thoughts...
This filibuster will be a refreshing start.

I'm sure we are all saying this mantra daily, but it looks so good in print:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
