Filibuster, or boycott the DSCC

Thu Jan 26, 2006 at 10:14:45 AM PDT

I have given hundreds of dollars to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, as part of the couple of thousand that I have given to Democratic candidates in the last year.  Like many of you, I've received tons of fund-raising letters from Democratic senators, and one of the main points stressed by those letters was the importance of stopping right-wing judges.

Well, this is it.  This is the battle that Democrats have been keeping their powder dry for.  Either the Democrats will fight, or they will not.  Either they will filibuster, or they will roll over.

If they roll over, there will not be one more dime from me.  In fact, I urge all of you to boycott the DSCC if the Democrats don't give their all to stop Alito.  You can still send notations to individual Democrats who know how to fight.  But a price must be paid for failure.
