All the Whos down in Whoville liked Judge Alito a lot,
But the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville, did not.
The Grinch hated Alito — the whole judicial nomination season.
Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
Or maybe his head wasn't screwed on just right.
But I think that the best reason of all
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small

[Nothometoday]

What if it is the wrong decision?
I may be wrong, But I am against *any* branch of government having too much power...

When the President walks into the place to give the state of the union speech, I bet the roof comes off that place.

Okay- I've found my favorite DU post of the day:

"Unfortunately, It seems American needs to reach the very bottom

Before, it wakes up out of its coma.

A supreme court nominee just isn't going to do it. Even, two stolen Presidential elections didn't do it. People ponder, just what will it take?

It will take this...

Economic collapse. A depression. Another war...And, that is coming. I think this nomination was far more about giving the President the ability to declare war powers by surpassing Congress then anybody realizes. He can now implement the next war without a Congressional authorization with no fear of judicial repercussions. Bombs away. But, where oh where, will they get the people?

Part one of the above paragraph. A depression (it is coming). The military will take the people who have no means to survive. People with no health insurance and no living wage.

When it affects them to the point that they are gasping for breath...

Then, you will a revolution. But, not until then..."

I am SOO joining an acting group just so I can perform this as a monologue. Dressed in all black and channeling Medea. Eve Ensler will discover me of course, and maybe, just maybe I can achieve my dream of performing in The Vagina Monologues with Bette Midler and Angelina Jolie. *fingers crossed* Thanks, Democratic Underground!

Now if only Stevens, Ginsburg, Bryer, Souter, and Kennedy will retire...
