Fight! Fight!

Via John Moltz, Digby comments on John Kerry’s announced plan to filibuster the Alito nomination, and on the reaction from many Democratic bloggers:

If we carp when our elected politicans take risks just as we carp when they don’t take risks, they have no motivation to listen to us at all.

Kerry and Kennedy stepped up today. They aren’t going down without a fight. This is worth doing and if we lose it, we should reward them and those who stood with them with our gratitude and support not another round of complaints about how they are a bunch of losers.

We have to fight to protect this country and the Constitution from the monarchists, even if we might get beat.
