Nuclear option
I think the real “nuclear option,” and the best move for Democrats, is to simply confirm Alito to the Supreme Court. Will he shift the court in awful ways? Yes, I believe so. But, I also believe it’s the system and that this is really a decision people make at election time. In the long run, I think the majority of the “middle” in America, many of whom voted for Bush, will be truly put off by the changes that will come as a result of this ideological shift in the court. Maybe in the future, they’ll understand they need to have a better understanding of the ramifications of their votes. Maybe. Probably not, but it seems like a good idea.
I expect more than a few people who voted for Bush would be put off if the Family Medical Leave act was ruled unconstitutional.
