a silver lining? the SCOTUS over-reaching today has remobilized the Left within 10 hours

[zazen]

and is dominating the airwaves. The rage that took eight years, from denial to fury, to mobilize the Left and a lot of the Center during Bush, just got triggered only three days after many were focused on Obama's weakness and the renewal of the right wing.

This decision is horrible.

But I haven't seen this much anger and mobilization in 10 hours since the Iraq War began.

[w8liftinglady]

1. I was thinking the same thing...we don't do complacency well,do we?

[zazen]

4. hah! no. . . we need a crisis de jour. Thank God the Rethugs don't get that yet.

[roguevalley]

17. it keeps me going. as long as the internet is free, we can still do

something. I grew up in a real America and I feel like I slipped into an alternative reality that isn't mine. I love you all tonight. This has been a very bitter day to this older 'gal'. I always hoped that the America you would have would be even better. :(

[MinneapolisMatt]

2. Absolutely correct.

3. You are making a joke, right? Haven't seen what you see at all. NT

[zazen]

5. depends how you define mobilize--on the Net, yes; in the streets, no

[jillan]

6. What haven't you seen?

[drm604]

13. He hasn't seen much of anything

considering he's been on here less than a day.

[slampoet]

7. Considering you've been here for only 21 hours or less i suggest you just wait and see.

After all what made you join DU today?


Welcome BTW.

[shadebeams]

8. So are you going to tell me how the 200,000 members here throw their weight around?

Or the 2,000 active members throw their weight around.

[scheming daemons]

14. What do you know... another freeper without a clue

This isn't just DU, you know.


Moveon... dailykos.... all the millions that worked against Bush in '06 and McCain in '08....


THOSE people...

[roguevalley]

20. how about throwing yourself out of here. its clear you are here to

provoke crap. too bad you don't have a clue that even your side of the fence is going to suffer.

[Raine]

23. I see pizza in your future

and soon ... enjoy.

[slampoet]

30. Neener neener neener I dance an your grave.

[Patchuli]

26. Hope you enjoyed your visit

and your shiny new tombstone. Dumb ass.

[flamingdem]

9. Obama will lead us well on this nt

[The Gunslinger]

16. Nope

Now he really has to bow to the corporate masters or they will run commercial after commercial for Palin in 2012

[gkhouston]

24. Bullshit. They'll run commercial after commercial no matter what he does. He'd

be well advised to fight as hard as he can right now.

[The Gunslinger]

27. I agree he should

but judging from the past year I don't see it happening. I hope he pushes for real health care reform now, because this might be the last chance for it.

[gkhouston]

29. At this point, he is personally endangered. Surely he senses it. There is no

longer any room for triangulation or "later".

[tridim]

10. I'm thinking it's going to mobilize everyone, except the teabaggers.

This is a fascist coup, and from what I'm hearing I think everyone knows it, or will at least eventually know it.

Impeaching Roberts is mandatory IMO. Coups are still unconstitutional in America.

[laughingliberal]

11. If it is a coup it makes the 3rd one in my lifetime here and nothing's been done about the 1st two

Hoping there will be a groundswell of support for the Constitutional Amendment. Until then, some of Grayson's bills may slow them down a while.

[zazen]

12. do you mean two stolen elections or Dec 2000 and something else?

Just curious. :-)

[Generator]

15. Probably has the name Kennedy

pick one.

[laughingliberal]

22. Yes, I spaced the 2004 election. If I count that this would be #4

Course, I guess 2004 just seemed like a continuation of 2000.

[laughingliberal]

19. I stand corrected. This would make 4 in my lifetime. nt

[spanone]

18. i think it's mobilized lots of folks....this is a frightening decision

[gkhouston]

25. I find myself thinking that Bush/Cheney probably trusted no one and must

have done their share of snooping on the Supremes. I wonder what dirt the FBI has on Scalia et al whether anyone with the ability to exploit it would have the guts to expose it.

[Peacetrain]

21. This should mobilize EVERYONE!!!

[rucky]

28. Well, my mom called me to sign this petition...

about two minutes after I had just signed it. http://www.movetoamend.org

So maybe there's something to this?

[Codeine]

31. Remobilized?

90% of DU has given in and decided we can never win. "Woe is me, I'm off to Canada/Sweden/Mexico" hardly qualifies as mobilized.
