For this Halloween, looks like the American people got a trick, not a treat. Bush has nominated Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Looks like the radical right is in charge, not that I ever thought anything different.
Anyone nicknamed Scalito, in honor of darling of the right, Antonin Scalia, leaves a bad taste in my bleeding heart liberal mouth.
My favorite of his opinions as a judge was in support of spousal notification before a married woman can obtain an abortion. Lord knows that a woman needs permission from either her father or her husband to do anything in this world. Women just can't make decisions on their own and should have no expectation to privacy or autonomy after marriage.
More on the nominee to come. I'm too pissed to write anymore. I'm supposed to be giving out candy or something to little kids. This is some serious bullshit.
Filibuster. That's all I'm going to say. Filibuster.

I heard a commentator say that Scalito would be honored to wear that nickname ... Nothin' good about this guy; zero, zilch, nada, NOTHING.
I just hope the Dems can find some balls for this fight. This time there should be no f---- around.
Oh Canada..........how sweet thou maple leaves look to me......I wonder what McCain thinks of Scalito. I'm afraid, very very afraid.

Ah "filibuster" makes me think of my dear departed Wellstone! - miss him. He would have a few things to say, I'm sure.
Wellstone, save us. As Billy Joel so aptly said "only the good die young." Well except for Rosa Parks. Whatever.
