1. I heard it on the news this eveing

I'm very happy to hear this

[0rganism]

2. it's about time

time to put the pressure on Smith for a "no" or an abstention on the nomination, that is.

3. I phoned Smith's Portland office...

...and told them that my family had voted conservative for generations (true, previous generations) and that I could not support the non-conservative idea of a Unitary Executive and hoped that Smith would not support Alito. I was dismissed very quickly.

I feel that I ought to be out on the street at Smith's office with a sign.

4. Not a bad idea, going there in person

Hit his toadies with the "unitary executive" a few times, maybe even record the scene on video and web-publish it.

5. Gordon NEVER opposes the leadership on anything that matters to them.

He knows his bread is buttered by the hand of Bill Frist.

6. That's nice, but it would have have had move impact a week or two ago.

I guess he got a little constituent pressure on this one. Gotta keep it up!
