65. My 'letter' ...
Your support for the appointment of Sam Alito to this nation's Supreme Court is the single most disappointing decision you've made since you opposed federal civil rights legislation!

Sam Alito is a tool of the extreme, plutocratic right wing of this country, a right wing that's embracing ideologies virtually indistinguishable from the fascism of Franco and Henry Ford. He's a proven liar and hypocrite. He's no more an "originalist" or "strict constructionist" than Scalia or Thomas, the latter being the most appalling addition to the highest court in the nation since its founding. These are autocrats who see only entitlements for privilege and power in the Constitution, do not see the bounds of government authority and see all kinds of imaginary avenues for abridgment of human rights and civil liberties. Their views are a complete repudiation of original intent ... seeing private liberties only in government-licensed corporations and not individuals.

Please! Reconsider!
