Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court represents a grave threat to our fundamental liberties. His record makes it clear that he is a conservative activist who will put his personal ideology above the rule of law.
If Alito replaces Sandra Day O'Connor, a moderate justice who represented the swing vote in many cases, some of our most fundamental rights are at risk. Alito won't stand up to a president's abuse of power. He has said that the Constitution does not protect a woman's right to choose. And he has consistently used the bench as a launching pad for his conservative activism.
Sign the petition below to urge Senate Democrats to stand together and use every means at their disposal to block the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. The results will be shared with Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Dear Democratic Senators:
Let's stand up and fight for what we believe in as Democrats. Samuel Alito should not be on the Supreme Court.
I urge you all to stand together and use whatever means you have at your disposal to block the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.
Samuel Alito's nomination represents a grave threat to the fundamental liberties of all Americans. He is an activist who has consistently placed his conservative ideology above the rule of law.
If Alito replaces the moderate Sandra Day O'Connor, who often proved to be the swing vote on important cases, the Supreme Court will shift dangerously to the right, undermining our basic freedoms.
In an era when the president of the United States declares himself to be above the law, it is more important than ever that we have a Supreme Court that fulfills its duty as the ultimate guardian of our rights. Alito's nomination puts those rights in danger, and it is vital that you use whatever means possible to block his confirmation.

Did someone take his mirror away? Someone should give him another one so he can STFU and fix his hair.
Yup. He has benefited directly from judicial activism and the overgrowth of the legal parameters.
John is worried that the Supreme Court might impact his ability to chase emergency vehicles.
"He didn't practice it. He 'channeled' it."
ROFLMAO! THAT was a goodern!
"Of course it goes without saying, he's still living in that "other America" in his two America's he was always yapping about."
He must be channeling Babs.
Oh.yeah...John endorse a filibuster when you are NOT in the Senate to have to participate...
The only reason you are calling for it...is because you know Alito is a slam dunk, and when you run for POTUS in 2008...you can blast Biden and Kerry and any other dem senator that would run against you...don't forget Hillary...for NOT keeping Alito out of the SCOTUS!!
You are so transparent...because you are so shallow.
I can still remember the media frenzy and love-fest of adoration when Kerry picked the up and coming Edwards as his VP candidate....
...geez, did this guy crash and burn or what?!!
Me too. I'd welcome a chance to nuke the filibuster and get our STILL blocked Appellate nominees through finally. I say go for it Dems.
Either way it's a win for us.
They filibuster, we nuke, we get all our judges through.
They filibuster, the GOP balks at nuke, the red state Dems and RINO's pay a price in election '06 as did Daschle as did deWine's son....Chafee has a primary challenger, it would be one more reason to vote for Laffey in the primaries. DeWine would be out in '06. The nelson's would be in trouble, go on down the list...After certain RINO's are rid of, and Rep gains against red state Dems, we have enough Reps to nuke a filibuster and get Alito after the elections.
So, yeah, filibuster Dems. I dare you to. Either way will eventually result in Alito and more Judges on court that respect the Constitution.
Yes, Yes, Please do that!!!
RE my post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1557103/posts?page=13#13
I just checked back at the Dem site.
They are starting to post cell numbers and sources for SS#s.
Doesn't the secret service or FBI or someone monitor these sites? This isn't a average joe shmoe site, these are our politicians.
I know what you mean.
I double dog dare them to.
Edwards is still an "empty suit".
Johnny don't you have an ambulance to chase?
hey john you couldnt win your own state so stfu
Edward should be careful with that encouragement... the way Democrats are behaving these days it won't be a filibuster that comes to their minds... it will be a bunkerbuster.
Where do I sign?
