1.The Bush administration has made it clear they think that warrantless is legal. They spell it out in detail in their new 40 page brief.
2. Alito was one of the architects os the "unitary executive" (short for "Imperial Presidency"
3. The decision whether what the president did is legal iwill be decided by the Supreme Court.
NOW IS THE TIME TO STOP A RULING THAT WOULD LEGALIZE DOMESTIC SPYING!
ALITO MUST BE STOPPED NOW.
Keep the pressure up. The third branch of government is at stake. Fight as hard on this as you would in an election. Fight as if your life depended on it...It does.
WE CAN WIN:
We are flooding the senator's offices and must KEEP IT UP> Someone speculated yestersay that some dems and repubs were just waiting for the fire to die down. That is why we must keep it going.
Contact the republicans too. Tell them to vote against nuking, or at least abstain. Abstinence is good for Republicans!
PLEASE USE THIS THREAD TO POST STRATEGIES TO WIN!
Here is one...please post others and keep up the good work.
CALL ALL YOUR SENATORS LOCAL DISTRICT OFFICES NOW TO OPPOSE ALITO
We have gotten many emails from our participants, asking "what more can we do?" Some have reported senators arbitrarily turning off their answering machines at night, or long waits on hold. Are they trying to hide from the thousands and thousands of their constituents who are raising their voices to demand that they filibuster the evasive Alito? Even if you have already sent your personal message by email or made some phone calls, we have added a FABULOUS extra function to the main action page where you can instantly lookup all your senators local district offices phone and fax numbers with just one click.
http://www.nocrony.comSPREAD THE WORD ABOUT FILIBUSTER FRIDAY
If the other side can have a so-called "Justice Sunday", we can have our own "Filibuster Friday", and that day is tomorrow. In just the last 24 hours we have seen a major shift in momentum. Today, Senator Leahy came out with a very strong statement that he recognizes the immense threat to our freedom and democracy in allowing a dangerous and unpopular president to install a fifth and controlling vote to hold that our Constitution actually intended to create an executive dictatorship. Tomorrow we need to show our support for those senators who are starting to stand up now by hitting every phone they've got right down to the district level with our phone calls and faxes. Get all your numbers with one easy click at
http://www.nocrony.comThose you who like to call in to progressive radio programs, we have all their call in numbers too at the site above in the right column. Call them and ask them to talk up Filibuster Friday all day and night long! Let's start early and snowball the thing all day long. Ask them to give out the easy to say and remember URL above as much as possible. Senators have said they are "undecided" on a filibuster. But we the American people HAVE decided and all our senators have to do it get it.
Some senators who are too still too cowardly to demand a filibuster are saying they will make Alito an issue in the 2006 election. It'll be an issue alright, in their OWN primaries! Any officeholder who will not stand up for this one must never hold public office in any capacity ever again. And the difference is whether you will stand up YOURSELF right now and make those calls to their local district offices. Make calls to the toll-free numbers 888-355-3588, 888-818-6641 and 800-426-8073 if you can get through there too.
It is not enough to vote "No." They must vote "Hell, NO!" It's called a filibuster. Filibuster Friday.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
