This letter from Alito to Dobson...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/max-blumenthal/alito-sends-james-dobson-_b_16596.html

I can't tell if this is satire or if this is for real. If it is real I am so angry right now it is beyond words. If I were to spray the bile I'm feeling right now to everyone I blame for this it would likely get me banned or at the very least put on a lot of "ignore" lists.

Fuck.

Of course if this is parody or satire and didn't happen I'm still pissed but maybe not quite as much.

8. I don't know but it looks like a pretty generic thank you to me.

10. Know your backbone!...

No one can take over unless they're allowed to take over.

3. it is real, but why are you surprised? This was being telegraphed months
in advance. Once Miers' nomination was shot down, every religious righteous group was told not to worry, we got your back.

The only ones missing the message were the democrats in Congress who saw no evil (they kept their eyes closed) heard no evil (those Bose headsets worked fine) and spake no evil (having no spine, it is hard to have the lungs create enough air movement to use one's vocal cords).

If you want to be angry, look at our senators. They didn't even try.

5. Not surprised that it's true....
Just surprised that Alito would have the balls to actually do this and that Dobson would be so bold as to announce/read it.

9. Given what a publicly loudmouthed jagoff Scalia has been
I'm not sure what's surprising about this.

Remember, Scalia has called people who disagree with him "idiots."

These are Freeptards, these "Justices."

11. Scalia is still pissed about Roberts. He wanted to be CJ. Having an young
upstart be given "His" office irks him to no end.

7. Got to maintain the status quo
because a lot of those DEMS will be going to jail with the Repugs when the Empire finally falls.

6. Another letter
Dear Dr. Dobson,

In appreciation for your support, and the support of the Focus on the Family members, I would like to provide you with a special e-mail address that gives you direct access to my office. Any messages sent to this address will bypass my staff, and go directly to my personal computer in my chamber.

Do not hesitate to let me know how you and your members feel about important legislation before the Supreme Court.

Ultimately, I must defend and protect the Constitution, as well as the rights and civil liberties of all Americans ;) but would greatly appreciate your input on matters of interest to you and your members.

My e-mail address is: s.alito@democratssuck. com

Sincerely yours,
Samuel Alito

P.S., Thanks so much for the wine and cheese gift basket - my wife was just delighted with it! She cried when she saw the all expenses paid trip to Scotland! Thanks again... ;) ;)

(End sarcasm)
