The Inevitable Post
Filibuster. Do it. Now.
Alito might be evil. I don't know. But we can't take that chance.
And as for hurting your chances of regaining a majority in November, there are more important things. Under almost no imaginable circumstances are the Republicans going to win the presidency in '08. Bush has used up his "policital capitol" and the Republican party is starting to implode under the weight of its own corruption. Given a viable Democratic candidate, the Republican party has no chance.
So, we've got this bitch on lock-down in 2008. Just two years after the mid-term elections. Whatever damage they've wrought, we can un-wrought. In the balance, though, is a potential 30+ year rule of the Supreme Court which, to be perfectly honest, will have a much larger impact on America than having the Republicans control the Senate for another two years.
Unless Bush dissolves the Senate and begins to rely on fear - fear of this battlestation - to keep the local systems in line. That would be bad.
