So it's questions today.

Shall we take bet on how long into a Senator's time it take for them to ASK a question?

Tom Coburn rocked yesterday!!!

Sam Brownback was superb...and heck, Lindsay Graham was awesome also...

The Dems supposedly want to make this about abortion and Roe, well, in case they haven't noticed..the GOP is welcoming the challenge....

BTW..IMHO, the senator who has the biggest problem with his vote is Chafee...if he votes against SAlito on the Sente floor..he'll lose his primary..

Can someone count how many times (up)Chuck Schumer uses the word "I" when he speaks today?

I will put the over/under at....60.

I think Alito will be far less deferential than Roberts was...he will challenge the Dem senators, not let them get away with the crap they usually pull..hopefully he watched tapes of the Clarence Thomas hearings..to see what the enemy is capable of..

Thanks for the thread! I think I'll monitor the hearing this way. If I watch those perfumed princes in the House of Lords, er...the Senate, I'll hurl.

ABC radio reporting that Spectre's first question will be "Do you still think there is no right to abortion, as you said 20 years ago"?>p>

What will he answer?

"Shall we take bet on how long into a Senator's time it take for them to ASK a question?"

My guess is it will be either a SUPER long time or a SUPER DUPER long time.
