I dare them. The American public will love that move - NOT! It's clear the DUmmies are losing this fight, and the filibuster will come off as a dumb, stupid, last-ditch, desperate measure. I hope they try it. Their poll numbers will sink even further, and they'll end up alienating even more voters.
I saw a scroll across FOX today which quoted Biden as saying that there was no longer any use in having senatorial hearings on supreme court nominees. I thought that was interesting.....as if he gave up to the conservatives. The left has no ideas. Their "followers" are radical, non-mainstream,fringe types. The leadership of the left have to appeal to the worst 'types' in order to cobble together a halloween coalition to get 50% + 1. There is no depth beneath which they will not sink. They will confabulate any perjury which they know is a lie, to try of infect the public with the thought that a decent man is not decent. They are more than happy to assinate a man in front of his wife, children, mother, father.....it does not matter to them as long as they derive the slightest political advantage. The depravity on display by Kennedy, Biden, Schumer, and Durbin was there for anyone to see. I think when Mrs. Alito demonstrated her humanity and love for her husband and that became the story, they only then realized they had taken it too far. Kennedy persisted today, but Kennedy is yesterday. He is, like most from Massachusetts, of the opinion that he is superior to the rest of us. He kills and abandons a young girl, and then feels free to disparage the integrity of a decent man. The irony is thick and almost everyone on the left and right know it. Only those on the right will speak of it. Devoid of any internal device to correct their impulses to defame and denigrate another, they proceed with zest only to overplay their hand and reveal nothing of Alito and much about themselves. The democrat is despotic in his thinking, his morality, his perceptions, and his world view. Think of it. They try to appeal to abortionists, homosexuals, perverts, and misfits of many kinds, and in doing so, alienate the mainstream middle who might lean their way. The democrat leadership are held in a stranglehold of these fringe, activist groups, and are unwilling to see that their refusal to defy them relegates them perpetually to the minority. The democrat relies on the following tools....lies, inuendo, senseless symbolism, euphemisms, and their perceived stupidity of the American public. I think the American public is slightly smarter than the democrat senators give them credit for. With muliple media outlets to discuss these matters, they are exposed for what they are....selective bigots of perceived opponents at any cost. In short, the Democrat leadership of this country are empty vessels afloat on a sea of the inane, and wind-whipped in any direction by the newest or oldest political opertion that comes into their head. This idiot judge in Vermont is being haled as a hero by democrat types. What more do you need to know about democrats.
...but they may be stupid enough to do it.
