In a few years, we could easily have a majority of the <B>Democratic</B> caucus in the Senate eager to confirm the next Alito and to legislate Constitutional civil liberties out of existence. These guys are all likely to be Democratic Senators: Nelson, Casey, Ford, Lieberman. One of them was even the Democratic candidate for VP, remember? <BR/><BR/>Look, the purpose of political debate in this country is now to determine which gang of conservative thugs has power. It has ceased to be about whether gays are people. That's been decided: they're not. It's not about whether citizens have judicial redress. That's been decided: they don't. It's not about whether whether the the weak should be protected. That's been decided: they shouldn't.<BR/><BR/>The leadership in the Democratic Party nominates righties to run because when they win, it increases the power of the leadership. The old Democratic idea -- that the government should do things for people that they can't do for themselves -- that idea is gone. That became a losing proposition when Reagan came in.<BR/><BR/>There's not much we can do about it. Personally, I'm writing in my own name for Senate. Several of my friends and relatives are writing me in, too. Others are supporting Yoda. (An excellent candidate he is.) If you think America was a better place when <I>habeas corpus</I> was alive, write in one of our names on election day -- or your own. It won't help, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you did not contribute to the decline and fall of the American "shining city on the hill. "Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
