It will be less than 10. Actually it will be 5.

I wish you were correct, but I predict there will be between 26 and 32 votes against him.

Filibuster an Italian-American from New Jersey?

IMO that would be a suicide wish.

I'll check the live thread because I've found that I just can't stomach these things anymore. I'm smart enough to know that a bullet through the TV only hurts me and not one Dim politician.

To: All
And now a word from our real Sponsors of Free Speech

The Men and Women who serve,
and have served, our country
are the ones who make sure that
the Politicans and Judges are free to do their job.

We would not have a US Supreme Court
without the protection of the Military.

Politicans and Judges are safe
because of the Military who protect them.

TEST : Call your Senator or Congressman's office
AFTER 5 PM, or on the weekend.
IF you speak to an actual person, ask who's in charge today?

Now look up the phone number
of your local military base.
Call that number 24/7
and ask the live voice you get
to speak with the person in charge.

Send a Thank You while you enjoy your Freedom also.

Not going to happen. Jersey lib papers are praising Alito as being fair. Alito also has the support of 2/3 of the country based on bias liberal polls. An addition, Alito has been very fair as a judge, got the highest ABA rating and is a good person.

The RATS know this. They do not need a circus right now, especially knowing he is going to get SCOTUS anyway. There will be some token nay votes.

Schumer: "Sir! We cannot allow you to be so out of the mainstream! You conduct has been ourrageous!

Alito: "Senator, I think that may be a bit harsh! I don't..

Alito: "Senator, this seems a bit absurd to me to...

Boxer (interrupting): "I can tell you one damn thing! My people want answers! It's been out for several weeks and....

Alito: "Gads! OK! I'll go see it! If you really think I need to for this committee to do it's job".

Alito (later at the local cinema): "What they hell? those two guys in the cowboy hats herding sheep are kissing! Yuk!"

Great, I get to hear our dear elected officials say "stare decisis" over and over and over....


I hate it when these idiots learn a new phrase that they think makes them look smart.....


Sort of like when McAuliffe said "At the end of the day" so many times in one interview I almost opened a vein.

You need to learn the 'cut and paste' technique used by the gifter.


Take care and hope all heals rapidly for you.

Good morning Howlin, and fellow FReepers. Happy New Year.

Cubicle bound today, but lurking. Prayers going up for Judge Alito.
