Ted Olson leading candidate to be nominated AG -ugghh Email Print

The bets are Olson will be the one named to succeed Gonzales as AG.

But Olson's just 1 more in a line of partisan warriors – not what the country desperately needs now for tarnished DoJ with its compromised attorney offices.

Wait... There's more! (3 comments, 441 words in story)

A Black Day for SCOTUS and Americans Email Print

It is as much as a done deal. Justice Samuel Alito will now sit on the bench of the highest court in our land for possibly the next 30 years. This ultra-conservative will rule against victims, grant unprecedented Executive power, re-interpret our laws, and promote the ultra-right agenda upon our country. Check Alito's America website for what we can expect to see from this KING GEORGE YES MAN!

Watch the careers of those who put him on the Supreme Court. Get the voting record at CSPAN and remember these so-called legislators at election time. With the exception of Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, every single Republican voted for the confirmation of Alito. A straight party vote, despite his checkered past on the bench. Republicans as a whole, voted their party-line rather than their conscience. It sickens me that these are the representatives of the people, and they are merely representing their party over the welfare of their constituents. I believe that Senator Chafee's statement is very clear, and well examined. Please read Senator Chafee's statement here.
