NYT says 'filibuster Alito'

Apparently there are religious people at the New York Times after all.

In an editorial today the NYT is calling for Democrats to filibuster the vote on Samuel Alito for the U.S. Supreme Court, even though Alito has more than enough votes for confirmation, and a filibuster would likely not set well with a majority of the American voting public.

But the public be damned, the NYT knows all, and apparently they are chomping for a classic, Armageddon-style war between the forces of light and darkness before the 2006 congressional races.

Thus we realize that the editors have taken leave of their senses and are relying solely on their faith as good liberals.

Make it so.
