Day 4: Hearing Resumes
This morning, Senators will question Judge Alito during a third round. They will then go into a closed session, to review the FBI background investigation on the Supreme Court nominee. Outside witnesses may be called to testify this afternoon, as well as the American Bar Association, to discuss its recommendations.
THURS., 9:00AM ET, C-SPAN

The contrast between these accomplished judges and the senate pretenders is well worth seeing. I am glowing w/the experience of seeing and hearing EXCELLENCE personified.
Dershowitz endorsing torture to elicit information from terrorists.
So far, the only quirky thing I've heard about Alito, is the fact he and Judge Garth would buy coffee and peanuts. Why not coffee and donuts? Or peanuts and Pepsi? Why coffee and peanuts together? What does it mean? I'm puzzled and concerned.
Ick! I too tuned to CTV for a few minutes while D****bag was giving his blanket support to Chuckie.
:-)
What's this about Alito's special blend of coffee? Is this like the wacky Easter Sunday Sermon where the priest decided to have us ponder if our lives were like a jelly doughnut (LOL! Still laughing about that one, many years later)
Ah yes, thank you! Yes he did.
"Will bring grace and luster to the Supreme Court if he is confirmed"
It must feel really bad to think the dems can be so condescening and know everything and melt down now. LOL! I am loving it all.
LOL LOL LOL!
Are any of the dems even sitting in on this? All the chairs look like they're empty.
Yes he will
Hypocrisy meters broke nationwide when Senators expressed shock and dismay at Tower's drinking and womanizing.
The Washington Times reports that investigators in the Abramoff probe are focusing their attention on five "top tier" Congressional suspects: Senators Conrad Burns, Montana Republican; Byron Dorgan, North Dakota Democrat; and Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, along with Reps. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, and Bob Ney, Ohio Republican. If that's true, the Democrats will have a hard time painting this as a Republican problem. And, as we've said before, what has been publicly disclosed about the claim against Congressman Ney is less than overwhelming.
Now, I have to say I'm profoundly sorry to see JD on the list, because I really, really like him.
Oh no, don't tell us you're troubled by it. ;)
John Gibbons up now. His retirement created vacancy on Third Circuit for Alito
I find that troubling.
Thank You GWB !
None, they'll be womyn.
I wonder how many of these excuses for senators actually are towing the party line and personally have no qualms with Alito or his train of judicial thought.
