These are the rants and raves of a stubborn-headed, midwestern, baby boomer, liberal, wife, mother, and grandmother. My goals are to speak my mind and educate others about some of the events in our world.

Filibuster Alito
It is time for the Senate Democrats to stand up before our country and filibuster Alito. Why? They should filibuster because they can. If Frist gets his panties in a frist, filibuster Alito. If Lott begins to get hot, filibuster Alito. If Santorum asks for decorum, filibuster Alito. Judge Alito would not answer the questions that were put before him. The justice he would replace, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, has been the voice of reason in many cases. Alito is not an appropriate replacement. There are many Americans who agree that the Democrats have to stand tough in the face of this executive branch power grab that we are witnessing. The only way to stand tall, and be heard is to filibuster Alito.
