Call the Gang of 14 NOW!
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 04:03 PM by Bill Bored
From Deomcrats.com:

<http://www.democrats.com/alito-48#comment-48552>

3:30 pm: The Gang of 14 went into closed-door meetings to stop our peasant uprising. Alito's personal trainer, Lindsay Graham, will lead the charge against a filibuster. How many of these media-adored "moderates" will vote to help Alito nuke the Constitution? (Alito opponents in italics) Republicans * John S. McCain III, Arizona * Lindsey O. Graham, South Carolina * John Warner, Virginia * Olympia Snowe, Maine * Susan M. Collins, Maine * R. Michael DeWine, Ohio * Lincoln Chafee, Rhode Island. Democrats * Joseph I. Lieberman, Connecticut * Robert C. Byrd, West Virginia * E. Benjamin Nelson, Nebraska * Mary Landrieu, Louisiana * Daniel Inouye, Hawaii * Mark Pryor, Arkansas * Ken Salazar, Colorado. Call the offices of all the anti-Alito Senators and tell them they must filibuster Alito or their vote against Alito is meaningless.

4. Yes they can! But call them now, read later.
(You might not want to waste too much time on Lindsay Graham though.)
