Reply #241: There is a way to defeat Alito AFTER confirmation. Long after. [View All]

Alito lied to the first confirmation committee he faced when he said he would recuse himself if there were a case in which he had a conflict of interest. When the Vanguard case came before him, in which he had a financial interest he did not recuse himself. That, in fact is cause for impeachment, not just the lie to congress, but also the fact that he violated bar rules in the case by sitting in judgement of a case in which he would profit from his decision.

But it would require that Dems have the congress. And frankly, I believe that the Alito confirmation will determine whether the Democrat Party lives or dies. Stand up and they'll have the support of the grass roots. Give in and they will lose much of the support they had in 2004 and will fade into the mists of history.

Too bad. America....a good idea while it lasted. Some of us will miss it.
