Bush's approval rating in California is only a little over 30%. She damn well better represent the other 65% and not bend over for fascism.

Flawed argument.  Bush's popularity contest rating is separate and apart from the qualifications of Alito.  Otherwise, that wouldn't be 51% in that poll in California approving of Alito.

I already pointed out the reasons why - right-wing media and right-wing poll.

Anyways, DiFi is actually doing what is best for California and the nation as a whole. She supports a fillibuster. 

Since when does she support a filibuster?

Oh, and from the LOL chapter:

"Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has threatened to run for Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) seat unless Feinstein filibusters Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito.

Sheehan, who was in Caracas, Venezuela Friday attending the World Social Forum, heard that several Democrats planned to filibuster Alito but that Feinstein, who is up for re-election in November, announced that she will vote against Alito but would not filibuster the nomination.

"I'm appalled that Diane Feinstein wouldn't recognize how dangerous Alito's nomination is to upholding the values of our constitution and restricting the usurpation of presidential powers, for which I've already paid the ultimate price," Sheehan said in a statement."

Since jfern won't show, here's his proof:

""Based on a very long and thoughtful analysis of the record and transcript ... I've decided that I will vote no on cloture," Feinstein, the only female member of the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. Cloture would end debate and bring the nomination to a vote."
