Alito - Silence and Fear

Quote of the Day:

To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.
~ Confucius ~


If you read between the lines of the latest Newsweek article by Eleanor Clift your likely to make a frightening discovery. Alito not the only one who is keeping silent.

The issue in question is Alito's stance on Roe vs Wade.

"It's pretty clear where Alito is headed on abortion rights. He refused to say whether he agreed with the characterization of the 1973 Roe ruling as "settled law," that couldn’t be re-examined."

IOW, if given the chance he will overturn the law, returning women who don't have the money to travel to states where abortion might still be legal to dark alleys and coat hangers. Everyone is pretty sure this is what will happen. Alito doesn't have to say a word. His silence speaks volumes.

The issue of silence is rampant in this article. One person is worried about the courts being stacked to the rafters with right wing judges unless the Democrats find a substitute for Hillary Clinton.

"A pro-choice Republican who spoke with NEWSWEEK but didn't want her name used said she is more worried about Alito after hearing him testify, and wishes the Democrats would spend their time finding a candidate to beat Hillary Clinton in the primaries "or we're going to get four more years of judges like this."

If she had not remained silent, if she and others like her had spoken up maybe Georgie boy and his playground bullies wouldn't be in a position to force Alito on the country.

Another quote points to the willingness of accepting party politics even if it against better judgment.

"The party is full of secret pro-choicers, Republicans who signed on to a package that included the pro-life position with the belief that it would never happen. They've kept their mouth shut all these years, but they'll be mad as hell and not willing to take it any more."

If you can't stand for the Truth then you will not receive the Truth. Hypocrisy in action. At least a bigot speaks his mind. A hypocrite will smile and lie to your face.

The headline of this article reads "The Republican Party is full of secret pro-choicers. If Alito helps to overturn Roe v. Wade, it could crack open the GOP coalition in the country and on Capitol Hill."

Silence. Silence and Fear. The perfect mixture of chemicals guaranteed to manipulate anyone. Don't worry about Alito being a closed mouth bigot at his hearings. Worry about the hypocrites who refuse to speak up and face the truth of how the entire country is being lied to by the current administration. If I can see it why can't they?
