Can I Get A Witness?
From: Supreme Court Watch
Senate Judiciary Republicans have just pulled Cathy Fleming, the incoming president of the National Association of Women Lawyers, from their list of witnesses testifying for Judge Alito.

Why?

Her organization refused to endorse him, saying "lthough Judge Alito's former law clerks and professional associates interviewed by NAWL generally reported that he has had positive and supportive working relationships with women and has appropriately hired women and promoted them to senior positions, Judge Alito's interpretation of statutes affecting women and their families further reflects a narrow reading of the requirements of those statutes to the detriment of women's rights."

In my opinion, the Alito vote could be the last test of the Constitution. If the Dems fail to block this man, they are ceding this nation to tyrants more brutal than Tom Payne's and Sam Adams' worst nightmares.

Remember the e-mail that swept the nation after the 2000 election was stolen, urging that not a single federal judicial nominee put forward by this administration be confirmed? As we all know,the Dems decided not to obstruct the third branch of government, and many neo-con nominees have gone forward.

The nation wants this one, Alito, stopped. No imperial presidency, no surrender of checks and balances, no abandonment of the Bill of Rights. Harry Reid, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Alito epitomizes everything dangerous about George W. Bush. Unlike Bush, he would not be gone in three years. With some leadership and profiles in courage, we may yet be spared an extremist high court.

Stop This Consitutional Coup d'etat or Prepare!

It is becoming evident through the actions of the President, the Vice-President and this Administration, that their intentions are to invoke the powers of Commander-in-Chief as the supreme power over this country. The question we must ask ourselves is it a Constitutional power
that is indeed being invoked, or as it really is: a subversion of Constitutional authority.
