Judgment Day

Honestly, I don’t give a damn about a judge’s personal opinions - as long as he or she applies the law fairly. (I mean, I dated a judge who was a drunken asshole. But he did a good job anyway.)
But when it comes to scumbag Republican operatives, we can assume from history that their opinions will determine their decisions and the Democrats need to start fighting hard against old Sammy “I’ll Suck Up To Anyone To Get What I Want” Alito:
WASHINGTON (AP) - So far this year, the civil rights and women’s groups opposed to President Bush’s conservative court nominees have been rebuffed, rebuked and rejected. And that’s just by Senate Democrats.
Now, in the early stages of the most momentous Supreme Court nomination struggle in nearly 15 years, these organizations seek Democratic cohesiveness and then hope to enlist enough Republicans to keep Judge Samuel Alito from taking the swing seat held by Sandra Day O’Connor. It won’t be easy.
“I do think it’s winnable. I think that the more Americans know about Alito’s record, they will be extremely fearful of his confirmation,” says Nan Aron, president of the Alliance For Justice, an association of environmental, civil rights, mental health, women’s, children’s and consumer advocacy organizations.
