[lbo-talk] Alito & disability

[Marta Russell]

Wasn't Kennedy the one who wrote the decision giving the 2000  
election to Bush?  He seems planted firmly on the right to me.  Doug  
is right, and the spineless Dems are going to let it happen.   
Activists have been calling on people to call the moderate Repugnants  
like Snow, Chafee, etc. but the Dems must lead a filibuster and it  
doesn't look like that is going to happen.  A very dark cloud is upon  
us.  The mild language of NCIL makes me SICK.
