Something came up about a firewall and 'denied'. I'll post it here and I saved it so maybe I can send it later.

To Sen. Byrd:
I do not understand your support for Judge Alito. This man is part of a larger issue of skewing the Supreme Court in favor of big business and complete presidential power and away from the rights of every day citizens. I hope you will not end up regretting your decision as we watch the Constitution being trampled by the extremists currently in power. We have already seen the results of Mr. Bush's nominees' evasiveness and deception. Justice Roberts has already voted against what he claimed to believe in his confirmation hearings re: the right to die decision of the state of Oregon. Judge Alito has been even more evasive and deceptive. I do not trust a Supreme Court loaded with Scalias, Alitos and Roberts to uphold the Constitution. I believe they will NOT act in an independent manner and will always defer to the Republican Party and it's extremist base in it's decisions. Please reconsider your decision.

Respectfully Yours
