This is so interesting. I wonder why the democrats UNANIMOUSLY voted to confirm Alito to his current position on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. That was back when they controlled the senate, so they didn't even have to filibuster. If this guy is such a right-wing extremist, why did not even one single democrat vote against him then?

I know you know the answer but I'll say it just the same. It is all about creating angst and grabbing headlines and has nil to do with this nominee's qualifications or his stance on anything. They have nothing to put forward so yelling and stomping around is what they are reduced to. Dean is perfectly suited to this role as are almost all of the Dem leadership.
