URGENT: The Looming Supreme Court Battle

I'm sure you all have heard the news, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is first to jump ship.

What looked to be a blistering hot summer just got even hotter. The pundits are split, Bush could either send up a "moderate" (since he is facing declining poll numbers) or he could offer a fascist nut-job (for the same reason).

Regardless, we all need to prepare for battle. And the first shot should be ours.

With that said, the following are action items Kos has posted and is requesting other bloggers (Online Magazine editors) do the same. So, here you go... now let's hit the mat!

• If you have a cell phone, sign up for People at the American Way's Mass Immediate Response site. This way, you'll be able to receive text message action items instantly as events break. (If you signed up during the nuclear option fight, you'll need to re-sign up.)



• Also sign up with the Save the Court, another PFAW website devoted specifically to this issue.



• Recruit friends and family members to the cause.



• Write to the President, telling him he should choose a consensus candidate to replace O'Connor.



• Contact your Senators to tell them the same thing.

More to come. Stay tuned.
