Journal sweetnjguy29's Journal: My Supreme Court Analysis - Half Right 1
I am still frustrated with the Democrats response to the Alito nomination to the Supreme Court.
Originally, I stated that I did not find Alito's nomination to be objectionable, mostly because the news media portrayed him as mostly moderate and not really against abortion. However, my position has changed to opposing Alito to the Supreme Court, based on memos that show he was behind a grand Republican strategy to overturn Roe v. Wade in little tiny baby steps. This man must be opposed. But how?
My original feeling that the Democrats would waste the valuable political capital they had built up during the Plamegate fiasco was correct. The inditement has been mostly forgotten, mostly due to other big stories in the media. The threat of more repercussions from the inditements and the extraordinary rendition scandel still loom over the Whitehouse.
As I predicted, the public has lost focus on the Libby inditements and our sagging world popularity.
The solution is still to push off arguing about the merits of the abortion debate in challenging Scalito's nomination. I truly believe it is a loosing issue to argue about, if you are trying to capture swing voters. Especially since 70% of people believe that spousal notification before an abortion is not a bad idea.
Let these stupid Republicans implode under the weight of their own stupidness and arrogence.
