Be Afraid, Very Afraid

Mustang Bobby points us toward and article in the New York Times that highlights some of the areas of concern with Jude Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court. The net of the concerns are that if you are a woman or man who cares about the rights of women in deciding what to do with their bodies you should be very afraid.

If you are not white, not wealthy, not christian, not straight you should be very afraid.

If you are not a corporation you should be very afraid.

If you like living in a democracy where there is a balance of power and the President is not a king you should be very afraid.

If you think a Supreme Court judge should be honest be very afraid.

If you think the country is going in the wrong direction be very afraid.

This is a bad man and not one who should be sitting on the highest court in the land for the next 20 - 30 years.

If you are afraid then you should call your representatives in the governement and let them know. If you want your world to take a harder turn to the right and you are willing to give up the rights we have cherished for 200 plus years then don't do anything.
