45 Democrat Senators are our last line of defense
You people who are still lucky enough to have one, I am hoping you will be contacting your Dem Senator on a regular basis, to plead with them to circle the wagons, ride out this horrible storm of rightwing lunacy, and not allow our country to abandon the Constitutional rights to privacy and freedom from government-sponsored religion.

2. The filibuster rule will be made into a thing of the past.
Say hello to Supreme Court Justice John Ashcroft and Chief Justice Antonin Scalia.

Don't kid yourselves folks, the Republic is in serious, serious danger as a result of this.

6. And what line of defense is that?
Let's see, 100 Senators, 45 Democrats . . . hmm . . . doesn't quite look like a majority yet. Are there results you've heard which might change this picture?
