ALITO ACCELERATES THE SHREDDING OF THE CONSTITUTION-- COURTESY OF JOE LIEBERMAN AND OTHER BIG BUSINESS-OWNED DEMS

It could only have surprised a complete dullard-- the same people who were surprised to find out that the Bush Regime was lying about weapons of mass destruction and about Saddam Hussein's participation in 9-11-- but today Sammy Alito struck. He was put on the Supreme Court to gut the Constitution and he came through with flying colors today.

In a 5-4 reversal (post-O'Connor), the Supreme Court decided that judges cannot throw out evidence collected by police who have search warrants but do not properly announce their arrival. As of today it is a lot easier for police to barge into homes and seize evidence without knocking or waiting, a sign of the court's new conservatism with the extremist right wing Alito replacing the conservative O'Connor.

How did this radical wingnut get on the Supreme Court. Well, on January 30, 2006 (at 4:40PM) Democrats had one chance to turn back Bush's radical agenda of twisting and shredding the Constitution. Had the Democrats stayed united, this could have been achieved. But they didn't. You can probably guess which Democrats decided to vote against the interests of their constituents on that day and join the radical right in making sure the Supreme Court would have a solidly extremist majority, probably for decades. You want to guess who the traitors were?

First and foremost, of course, was Bush's favorite Democrat whatever he is now: Joe Lieberman, who couldn't wait to send e-mails to Connecticut voters telling them he had voted "No" on Alito-- after he had guaranteed that Alito would be confirmed for his Big Business and GOP allies by voting "Yes" on cutting off debate (cloture). Other Democrats joining Lieberman were all the usual suspects: Max Baucus (MT), Tom Carper (DE), Mary Landrieu (LA), Blanche Lincoln (AR), both the horrible Nelsons (FL & NE), Mark Pryor (AR), John Salazar (CO), plus a few other Big Business sellout Democrats emboldened by these traitors.
