John Kerry - filibuster

At this point I really don't care about the expert's opinions on political motivation. I really don't care about their doomsaying editorials or their comments on CNN. I don't care what anyone may think of Senator Kerry as a Presidential candiate. That's history now. I especially don't care that the experts are sure we can't muster 41 votes.

I do care that someone, somewhere, is doing something. Unless your electricity has been off today, you fellow Yanks know that Senators Kerry and Kennedy are trying to gain support for a filibuster of the Alito nomination. Good for them. I bet by tomorrow the Junior Senator from California will be joining them. In fairness, she wouldn't be the best person to lead a parade. I adore Barbara Boxer and her big mouth but she might do better in this instance to hold Senator Kerry's coat. I hope Senator Feinstein will join as well.

I'm not sure how much value these petitions have. I'm not sure of mass produced email or phone calling campaigns either but I sign things and make phone calls faithfully.

This is a link to John Kerry's website.

I signed the petition on the theory that something is better than nothing.

The link in the title will take you to his web site. The petition is there.

Take care everybody.
