Byrd Finks

I am incredibly disappointed with Sen. Robert Byrd's decision to endorse Alito today. Here's the man who has spoken so eloquently of the need to protect this republic from the emperor and his armies, now turning traitor and supporting the very people who will rob us of our democracy. Apparently, it's all because he is being challenged from the right in his re-election bid this year. What is this, the "if you can't beat them, join them" strategy? Try that, and they'll devour you.
