"Judge Alito's confirmation would be an ideological coup on the Supreme Court," Kerry said in a written statement explaining his support for a filibuster.
"We can't afford to see the court's swing vote, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, replaced with a far-right ideologue like Samuel Alito."
First I need to say that I am pleased to see Democrats finally getting off of their dead ass and doing something. But.....It is too little too late.
I am just as worried about the court swinging too far to the right as every other good progressive. I just don't see this changing the outcome in any significant way.
Alito is going to get confirmed. That is a given. It will have a dramatic effect on the court cases that come before the Supreme court in the coming decades. That is also a given. This blows hard! Also a given.
Democrats need to focus on defeating the republicans in 2006 and getting the opportunity to investigate some of the scary shit that this White House has pulled in the last five years. That should be the Dems priority before any other.
After that is done they should indict the entire administration. Then I will be happy. Please make me happy!
