KENNEDY ON HIS DECISION TO SUPPORT A FILIBUSTER ON NOMINATION OF JUDGE ALITO
Submitted by davidswanson on Thu, 2006-01-26 23:52.
Other than voting to send our men and women to war, there is no more important vote in the Senate than our vote on a Supreme Court nominee. This is a vote of a generation and a test of conscience. Judge Alito does not share the values of equality and justice that make this country strong. He does not deserve a place on the highest court of the land.
We owe it to future generations of Americans to oppose this nomination. If Judge Alito is confirmed, he will serve on the court long after President Bush leaves office, and the progress of half a century on the basic rights of all Americans is likely to be rolled back. He's the wrong Justice for justice and the rule of law in America.

Filibuster
All elected officials are sworn to uphold the Constitution. Please remember this on Monday when the vote for cloture comes.
The right of the minority to vote for a filibuster is sacred to our representative government. You MUST defend the power of the legislature in our system of checks and balances.
VOTE YES FOR A FILIBUSTER AND NO ON CLOTURE.
Thank you.
Thank you, Senator Kennedy, once again. Let us hope that your fellow Dems stand up for the country instead of their jobs for a change and support the much needed filibuster of this truly unAmerican Alito.
