Page one: Henceforth we use
Extended Debate rather than
Filibuster every time we speak in public about this issue
Page two: Henceforth we tell opponents of Alito's nomination filibuster, "Why are you trying to prevent free speech? We're just fighting to extend this constitutional debate, people need to know what you're doing with the Alito nomination and what the results of it will be if he is approved"
Also, lowering ourselves closer to their level we can ask them: "Don't you love America?" With people of certain ilk we ask them "Why do you hate Americans? "I mean, you even hate babies, children, our elders...! "
Page three: Henceforth WE STOP DEFENDING OUR POSITIONS AND ALWAYS ATTACK THEIR FASCIST-LIKE TACTICS AND CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THEIR CULTURE OF CORRUPTION AND CRONYISM. OVER AND OVER, AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, DAY AFTER DAY, WEEK AFTER WEEK, and on and on
Page four: Henceforth we will take no prisoners.
Page five: Henceforth we will discredit, vilify, revile, demonize, put down, question the patriotism of anyone who supports Alito's confirmation and every other issue that we see fit to use against them, we'll go after their families too, their wife and children, their dog and horse too.
(Mmmm, maybe we should stop short of going after their families and the rest)
Oh... The wickedly fulfilling fantasies of my demons and the heavenly goodness of my angels that steer me to ask:
But, can we do it in the Liberal way mode? You know, incisive, with honor and a sense of humor?
Back to my reality of intellectual honesty, sense of fairness, civility, intelligence, empathy, sympathy, spirituality, bravery, strong convictions and opinionated opinions, and that is just a start.
Back to the reality-based proud liberal life where all the people that I admire and love live.
GO! GO! JOHNNY GO!
GO! GO! JOHNNY GO!
Thank you Senators Kerry and Kennedy for leading the charge to save our Constitution, and I thank also the other 39(?) Senators that have joined the move to extend debate (We may have the numbers, let's increase them to sustain the onslaught coming over the weekend and beyond)
Thanks to everybody that has been fighting this madness, and there are so many of us.
You and I know that we are a force to be reckon with and we're not going away, we are taking back our country.
Keep up the good fight. As Gandhi commented, let the world see their brutality.
GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!
