Good Morning All. It's cloudy and cool here in central Texas. We're looking for a little rain.
john, the menu sounds wonderful. You did a bang up job.
Guenie, it's good to see you. It will be fun at the Assisted Living place today. Your dad will have a ball.
prairie, are you still wandering around the Hill Country?
...Could you, for a single moment, believe a conservative would get away with uttering this?
SENATOR SCHUMER: Alito, like Rosa Parks, can make history simply by virtue of where he sits.
for those who are movie fans, this is a good day to see movie Luther.. most excellet flick from a few years ago
"Now, for the Gang of Seven in the Senate--we're watching. Harry Reid hates this guy. This is well worth the Nuclear Option."
--->
The most important Senator to listen to is not in the "Gang of Seven" ... he is Senator Specter.
If Specter decides to even mildly oppose Alito, he's toast.

Great post.
My brother had his echogram this morning and the result are inconclusive. Both the vascular surgeon and cardiologist are puzzled and have called in a hematologist. There was a shadow they cannot identify and I don't know what they will do as a result of that.
Jeff will be put on a blood thinner and tested every two weeks. The pathology from the blood clot is not back yet and that may provide some new information to help doctors understand what they are looking at.
My brother wanted to go home today and the surgeon told Jeff this was a very serious situation and he must stay for another few days.
Thank you all for your prayers and concern.
"inconclusive" tests are the worst. Here's hoping someone is able to resolve the puzzle. ... but in the meantime, not good for your mom.
"Alito's voting record is more like that of Justice Antonin Scalia, who contends the undue burden standard is hopelessly unworkable. Scalia also would like to overturn Roe."
Let's roll! Time for the fight!
thanks for update Peach. Know this is difficult for you all.
Hugs and Prayers to & for you all
I'm so sorry the Drs couldn't draw any conclusions from the tests. Unfortunately, the best place for your bro is in the hospital until they are certain what they are dealing with, hopefully they will know soon.
Prayers continue for your family.
And this is why medicine is an inexact science. Test results aren't always black and white, and inconclusives are not infrequent. The good news is that he has lots of specialists available and more heads are better than just one.
I'm not at all surprised that he's on anticoagulants and the doctor is exactly right. They want to adjust his coag time to a certain level and then make sure he stays that way. He'll have to have it monitored frequently once he does go home too, so there isn't any point in sending him home too early. Tell Jeff he needs to follow doctors orders very exactly, including when it's ok for him to go home.

Two words...Miguel Estrada.
He was an Appeals Court nominee, IIRC. Charlie Brown Schumer is referring to the Supreme Court.
4. For the third time, [the President] has declined to make history by nominating the first Hispanic to the Court.- Reid
Arrogance, hypocrisy, and selective amnesia all rolled into one statement. (Like Reid would have voted for Estrada or Gonzales anyway)

Yes, I know. But the hypocrisy still applies to the RATS and Schmuckers statement.
Actually on the issue of "to three thou shalt count," I have to concede that Reid does seem to know how to do that. President Bush has only had three nominees to the Supreme Court: Roberts (Chief Justice--Confirmed)
Meirs (Justice--Withdrawn)
Alito (Justice--Under Consideration)
Estrada and Gonzales were Appeals Court nominees, IIRC.
Of course.
You're correct, on a lower court, so Dingy Harry's voting would be consistent with my post #74 if the appointment were to SCOTUS.
I'm starting to dislike Reid as much as I disliked Daschle.

We'll have to work on you then so we can get Reid right on up to the top.
Must have been in July or thereabouts that I first had the chuckle about "Scalito" being in the running. Quite interesting that we're going to be hearing so much more about him now.
