IT'S FILIBUSTER FRIDAY ALL WEEK! PHONE AND FAX ALL YOUR SENATORS AT THEIR LOCAL DISTRICT OFFICES. GET ALL THEIR NUMBERS WITH THE ONE CLICK LOOKUP BELOW.
When they surrendered on the original filibuster confrontation without a fight they told us they were "saving our ammunition." Strike one.
When they waved Roberts through without demanding access to any of his records for the last 20 years they told us they were "keeping our powder dry." Strike two.
Don't DARE try to tell us that now rubberstamping the most radical jurist on the appellate bench is yet more "picking our battles."
UPDATE: Now that an Alito filibuster is looking increasingly likely, the other side is again threatening to nuke the proceeding in a further power grab. If they try to steal a Supreme Court seat by changing the rules they will face the most awesome wrath of the American people in the next election. So while you are calling for a filibuster of Alito, please also tell them they better not try to pull some nuclear option stunt. Buzzflash and Democrats.com are reporting (quoting Harry Reid) that only 8 Democratic senators are still not on the filibuster bandwagon!. Also, if you are MoveOn member, please Ask them to join the filibuster phone action.
