Letter to Senator Harry Reid (D) sent this morning.

To the Honorable Senator Reid:
While I am not one of your constituents, I want to express my dismay at your and the Democratic party's political behavior in Washington DC.
During President Clinton's administration, the Republicans confirmed the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsberg, a person whose ideas were diametrically in opposition to theirs, and clearly out of the "mainstream".
You should give the same consideration to President Bush's nominations, namely Judge Samuel Alito.
I see now that the abortion issue has become the litmus test on both sides of the aisle. That "women's right to privacy" versus "pro-life" has become the sacred cow in both political parties.
One of these days, every person will stand in front of the ultimate Judge and give an account for these idealogies. I tend to think that those who stand for the issue of "privacy" (although the real issue is "convenience" and the attempted removal of behavioral consequences) will come up short. Those who stand before Him who have protected the sanctity of innocent life seems to have a better shot. That is, if you take the issue of faith and a Supreme Being serioiusly.
