Alito brought his children? Will Schumer be easy on them?
He'll probably be as kind to them as the press was to Roberts' kids!!
Kabuki Dance
That is a GREAT cartoon!
He is talking about Roe now.
They are trying to find the magic bullet...
Specter jumping right in on abortion.....seems to be lecturing Alito.....
LOL
I was thinking more along the line of spit balls....
I hope Alito is thinking about what he is going to do with his family for summer vacation this year......
Does Specter actually think the libtards care that they were totally wrong about Souter being Ronald Reagan? Of course they don't. They have no shame. If they are wrong about something, they just ignore it.
Baahahhaaa! I had the exact same thought earlier:)
I'd feel better if he'd had Fred Thompson working with him as he did with Roberts...instead he had Ed Gillespie.
He is talking about Roe now.
That didn't take long!!
Does Spector have a point in there anywhere?
Specter did the same thing to Roberts, in fact the speech is very similar to the one he gave Roberts. Specter is on my pay no mind list.
Leahy advocating a LARGE faction's influence......
thanks for ping , My cat got out on me this morning and I had to go get him out of the neighbors birdfeeder.
Leahy says the President can't "pack the court".
Leahy mentioned Miers. Everybody drink!
Leahy is blathering. *yawn*
