YO! 1st WAVE BLOGGERS!

remember when early political bloggers of what y'all now call the #netroots, protested both the appointments of #JohnRoberts and #SamuelAlito to the bench?

i even co-wrote a statement for the #feminist blogger network where we were very clear eyed about Samuel Alito's history of targeting not just women in his decisions but girls and women of color.

this is one of those #ToldyaSo moments i detest saying, but told ya so
