Is the rightwing backing away from the Alito fight?

[FreedomAngel82]

I'm listening to the Majority Report (my feed is a little behind from pressing pause) and a guy from DailyKos called in and is talking about how it seems the rightwingers in the "Christian right" are backing away from the Alito fight. They got rid of Miers because they wanted someone who would be so radical and for their views. According to this guy it seems that at first they were all like "oh Bush kept his promise to us!" and now they're realizing he didn't keep his promise so they're backing off. Alito seems to have a crediability problem on various things like joining some conservative group Princeton had that was racists. According to this guy he claimed to join because of something with the ROTC program not being there and not being racists against blacks, women and handicapped people. This guy thinks they are walking away from this battle because of Alito's stance on the wiretapping thing and that if he goes down it'll be because he views the president as king. Too many Americans aren't liking this whole deal. According to Alito Congress can't do anything to stop the president.

1. Fight for Alito or against him?

I'm a bit behind the whakos on this.

2. Interesting view. I hope you are right and I do think that the

Imperial Presidency is THE issue.

3. It seems lately all they care about is

the book of "Daniel" and not about Alito. Quite interesting on how quiet they are. Did they have a "Justice Sunday" thing again?

4. thought they had a justice sunday yesterday...

isn't the Alito thing all about that besides being a 'death to all gays' rant?

by the way, i hear that Loretta Scott King was there....

hmmm...

5. What???

King was there? Supporting a known racists person? What? Is that true? And did they have it yesterday? I didn't hear much of a scream about it like the first time.

6. Known racist?

This stuff about Alito being racist is probably a bad idea. Crap like that obscures the real issues with him and puts up an easy target for the RW's

7. heard it on talk radio ...

maybe i have the date wrong ... but Jonothan Rothman (kgo) said Loretta Scott King is reported to be attending.. i thought he said it took place yesterday.

it's all about abortions and gay's...

that's how the repukes have been attracting some in the African American community, vis a vis these faith based wedge issues.
