Action Alert: MoveOn seeks 120,000 signatures, pronto!

The cool part is that they managed to get 350,000 in just one day. Follow the link, voice your opposition to the nominee that several progressive pundits have actually referred to as being "to the right of Scalia."

I could put up links to a couple of annoying New Republic articles in which guest writers defend the guy in the same way that there were some pro-Miers articles. "The record might say one thing, but can we actually predict how they'll vote in the future?" Maybe so, but the argument is being phrased in terms of gambling. And I think I'd rather place my chips on a centrist than a guy with a record of being hard right as long as it's a guessing game. Chalk it up to more of that DLC-style appeasement policy.

Drop by. Sign up. MoveOn's goal is to run an ad in Roll Call tomorrow to show senators that there's a mobilized group of us determined to protect the Supreme Court from falling under the sway of the ideologically-driven Bush Republicans. Do it! Now!
