Re: IN-Justices on the Supreme Court Dear Senator __________:
In 1991, eleven so-called "Democrats" voted to confirm Clarence Thomas, arguably the least-qualified member of the Supreme Court in our history, by virtue of character and an ideology that's demonstrably antithetical to the values and principles of the Constitution he purports to interpret. Today, only one of those eleven remains in the Senate and he now calls himself, only somewhat less hypocritically, a Republican. Even the electorate catches on eventually!
Senators who call themselves "Democrats" currently represent a majority of the American people. A filibuster by such a representation is no more a "procedural maneuver" than disallowing evidence obtained by torture in a criminal trial.
Sam Alito is a demonstrated liar, hypocrite, and closet fascist who genuflects to the 'authority' of the privileged. He never saw an "interpretation" of the Constitution that favored the rights of the weak against the privileges of the powerful. His nomination was merely another abomination of the extreme right in a series of abominations.
A filibuster is not only well-advised, it's morally and ethically obligatory for any Senator not corrupted by power and bought by the moneyed interests.
Filibuster! It's cowardice and corruption not to do so!
