I got this from MoveOn.org today:

Dear MoveOn member,

This morning, with his administration growing weaker by the day, President Bush caved to pressure from the radical fringe of the Republican Party and nominated Samuel Alito to replace Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court. Alito is a notoriously right-wing judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. He has consistently ruled to strip basic protections from workers, women, minorities and the disabled in favor of unchecked power for corporations and special interests.

That’s why today we’re joining the fight with an emergency petition to the Senate, calling on them to stand up for ordinary Americans and reject Alito’s nomination. We’re aiming to gather a quarter million signatures and comments in the next 48 hours.

Can you sign today?

I agree we don’t need a man on the Supreme Court with a poor record on civil rights. We don’t need a Justice who appeals to the extreme reactionary fringe who pull Bush’s strings. We need a person who will uphold the Constitution to the greatest possible good of us all. So I don’t think Samuel Alito is a wise nomination. Bush is just giving in the to the suction from the far right wing of his party.

Time for us all to stand again and yell, “Shenanigans!”
