Reid has already backed an anti-choice, torture proponent for his own circuit (the 9th) and an anti-choice, anti-disability advocate for another circuit. Reid even backed Goss, who plans to use the CIA against us. Reid has too often voted against civil rights and civil liberties and against the liberal Democrats and didn't see the importance of a paper trail. If Reid becomes minority leader on Tuesday, the seating of the Ohio and Florida Bush electors is guraranteed. So is the confirmation on torture advocate Gonzales.
The only hope is the number 2 choice, Durbin who has one of the best histories of standing up against the Bush regime of anyone in Congress. It would be easier to convince Senators who are already considering Durbin for the number 2 role of switching him to the number 1 position than of convincing them to pick another liberal not under consideration. Therefore, on Monday (the day before the decision) we need to get everyone we know to call all the Democratic Senators and ask them to back Durbin for the number 1 position.
