Good liberal groups

Ok, I'm taking names.

Below are the liberal groups who effectively and wisely jumped on the "Senator Cornyn understands why crazies kill judges" issue. This issue is bigger than Cornyn - it impacts the filibuster debate, the Supreme Court nominations, and more. Any liberal group that can't see that, or can't move its ass fast enough to act on this now, deserves to be cut off at the knees and the wallet.

As an aside, remember that the Center for America Progress posted something on this LAST NIGHT, only hours after Cornyn made his now infamous comments. All it takes is half a brain, the willpower, and a staffer who's willing to work past 5pm when big things break.

So, let the praise and the blood-letting begin. If you know of a big liberal group that jumped on this issue by notifying their email lists, posting a press release or other notice on their Web sites, etc., please let me know and I'll give them credit below.

Mainstream liberal groups who get a big gold star (or Star of David, as the case may be) for jumping on the Cornyn anti-judge hate speech (note, I'm not adding groups like Howard Dean's, etc. - this is about mainstream traditional non-profits in DC who are leading the battle on judicial nominations, not blogs and other new groups, we know THEY get it):

- National Jewish Democratic Council (established group)
- (PLFAG? - I'm not so sure they get credit. They sent out an email alert today about the filibuster issue, and good for them. Of course, they failed to mention the 'kill all the judges' issue which was handed to them on a plate yesterday, and would be sure to energize the grassroots and most hurt the chances of the filibuster change succeeding. So no gold star for PFLAG.)

(I'll update this as more names, and proof, are submitted.)
