basketball tickets?

Even mock trials or debates would be better than the circus the dems are running. How do you feel Alito did on the Vanguard question?

Yeah - you aren't kidding about the DEMs running a circus here.

I think Alito did fine on the Vanguard question. Add facts and comments from GOP Senators and ethics experts, the Vanguard issue becomes a petty complaint - much ado about nothing.

The CAP issue is a little more complex to defuse, but he did fine with that too. Biden thinks he can make hay with it, which shows how petty Biden is.

Alito is kicking butt today. Yesterday he was a bit nervous, it worried me a bit. Today he's showing us all how great he is and making the dembos look like the idiots' they are.

Biden saying he was just an Irish Catholic Kid

[maggief]

Is Plugs going to bring up his cheating in school?

[Sacajaweau]

I'd say half the Dems got beat up in grade school. I would have taken on Kerry with no qualms....and I'm a girl.

[Hoodlum91]

I'm glad to hear he's doing well.

I turned it on during the swimmer's questions and had to turn it off again when my blood pressure started rising!

[cgk]

Biden:.."don't take this personally, but..."

And we're back to who Alito is replacing - which again DOESN'T HAVE RELEVANCE

[texasbluebell]

"Alioto"

"Osama Obama"

Ted the Swimmer's brain is water-logged.

Is he going to sit in the Senate as long as Bobby Byrd?

I guess we'll have years left to watch this trainwreck called TK.

[DeusExMachina05]

Ask Neil Kinnock.....lol

[saveliberty]

He can try all he wants, but he's still going to be the ever deranged Joe Biden

[Mo1]

Biden is bragging his brains out - everything is I I I I

He's trying to act like he's from the streets of Philly

Any one know where Biden grew up??

[Shaka]

When he's down south raising money for friends..he becomes a good ole Southern Baptist.

[retrokitten]

Oh Lord he is annoying.

[SE Mom]

pffffftttt...yeah, some campus, somewhere.

What an unbearable man he is.

Now he's discussing the NEW "replacement" clause (I'm still searching for it somewhere in the constitution)...

[Master of Orion]

Now he's talking about stacking the Supreme Court. Not your job Mr. Senator.

[COUNTrecount]

Joe obviously didn't get in to Princeton.Sour grapes.Must have been before Affirmative Action for short bus riders.

[Cboldt]

I intended to add that the Senate is commandering far more authority here than the founding Fathers ever intended. Therefore we need a Constitutional Amendment requiring that US Senators win their seats in Nation wide elections.

That goes in the wrong direction. Repeal the 17th - no popular direct election of Senators.

[saveliberty]

Well now we know what happened to them
