Aw mama, can this really be the end...

It seems a foregone conclusion that Sam Alito will be confirmed and we'll all suffer the consequences for way too long. I can't decide whether to be horrified or just sad. When I was driving people to the polls in 2004, this is what motivated me.

If you want to be on the record as someone who thought the world would be a better place if Sam Alito stayed on the 3rd Circuit, here's a petition John Edwards is putting together. You can tell your granddaughter (it's just too hard for me to write daughter in that line) that you tried for her.
