Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.

We would have had an uphill fight trying to stop Alito anyway (I just blogged on it) but our failure to formulate a strategy pretty much guaranteed his confirmation, and trying to organize a filibuster at the last minute instead of over the last few weeks, is like trying to stop a train as it is pulling out of the station already-- most likely result is that you get run over by the train, and today we all did.

The last minute thing I think was all political posturing - which the right will spin and make it look like once again - the dems don't stand for anything but obstructing all the wonderful things the repubs are trying to do. I am so very disappointed in all of this and am feeling more hopeless.
