Vote for Democracy

I believe that it's time for every Democrat Senator to stand on principle and support a filibuster of the Alito nomination.

It seems to me that Judge Alito does not believe in the tripartite, equal division of powers that the founders of our country wrote into the Constitution. It appears that his thinking goes more to the power of the Executive branch trumping the Congress, and making the Judicial branch the willing handmaiden of the Executive.

This is absolutely contrary to the intent of the writers of the Constitution who had just concluded a War of Revolution against England and the power of the King. Alito would turn back history and cancel the genius of our Constitution and it's guarantees of liberty and freedom for all. He would support the concept of "Big Brother is watching you", as is exemplified in Bush's belief that warrants issued by a court are not necessary to spy on United States citizens.

This is a slippery slope that eventually will end in the pit of fascism, and will signal the end of "The land of the free and the home of the brave".
