America's "nightmare"
It may be too late, but this may help frame the Alito debate:
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist told Republican Party activists on Friday night that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito was the "worst nightmare of liberal Democrats."
And what's one thing that liberal Democrats love, according to Republicans? Abortions! And what's the issue that could turn public sentiment against Alito? Abortions!
At the very least, Democrats should start talking about this, and soon.
