I caught a little of Sam Brownback's comments on this morning's airing of yesterday's hearings on C-Span.

The additions of Brownback and Coburn to this committee has greatly improved it. They are defidently two of the best guys in the Senate.

Is Mama Tucker the real name of the D.C. representative of the American Bar Association? I thought Mama Tucker was a singer/entertainer.

The Club for Growth is supporting Laffey. So, I'm supporting Laffey. The missing Linc needs to go home.

When I joined the party of Lincoln, no one told me they meant Lincoln Chafee.

Bet here is that each Dem will pontificate and lecture for 25 minutes and then finally get to the question. Answers of yes or no should suffice.

A good answer to anything is, "Short answer, no. Long answer, yes, but ...".

The battle lines are clear for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito: Moderates and liberals want him to repudiate his work for the Reagan administration while conservatives urge him to hold his ground — or his tongue — on issues that could provoke a Democratic filibuster.

From this morning's AP article. No liberal media bias here!

Here is another story that is floating today - discussed on C-SPAN momets ago ...

Fascinating Slate article by Emily Bazelon about Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito. Specifically, it focuses on his opinion as a Justice Department lawyer in the eighties in a case of the death of an unarmed 15-year-old black male.

In 1974, a Memphis police officer shot the boy in the back as he fled a crime scene with $10 and no weapon. The boy's father sued. Alito tried to get the Justice Department to argue that suspected criminals had no constitutional protection from being shot in the back by police, even if they posed absolutely no physical threat to anyone nearby. To their credit, the Justice Department decided not to argue against, and the Supreme Court ruled in the father's favor.

There's no reason to believe Alito's views have changed. When it comes to civil liberties, Alito even was outside the mainstream of the Reagan administration. That's scary.

and if he votes for him, he loses the general election. Either way WE'RE done with Chafee. No big loss... ;)

Gee, why does this quote come to mind...?

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
