Vanity

[Howlin]

Notice that nobody is laughing WITH Biden.

[Rev DMV]

THe only problem I have with Roberts is from what I've seen he should be running for president. He's smarter with more personality than any other candidate I've heard of yet.

I am sending Biden a death ray!

But nomination hearings specifically did NOT include the nominees until the last 50 years or so.

What did they use to do?

Geez .. how many times is Biden gonna say that

[JFC]

We need to start calling BIDEN's OFFICE and telling him he is a JERK than needs to be fired.

Any one with phone numbers....?

Biden quotes Scalia, yet he knows Scalia made his statements as a SCOTUS "Justice," not as a nominee.

Biden and democrats want a Souter. Not happening.

[Mo1]

Notice that nobody is laughing WITH Biden.

SMACK DOWN!

"I'm not standing for election."

GOOD. First Class lecture.

[Chuck54]

Roberts just bitc*slapped Biden.

[A Citizen Reporter]

WHOA! Did you see Biden smile, shake his head and say, "You're good". I more sarcastic remark I've never seen. And throwing in the towel.

There is nothing patriotic about Americans shooting U.S. troops or hanging people for possessing a U.S. flag, which is what the Confederates did.

I'm not familiar with those incidents, but I'll take your word for it. On the other hand there is the story about Stonewall Jackson sparing a woman (Barbara Fitchie?) who waved a Union flag at his soldiers.

There are also well documented stories of Confederate sympathizers being killed for alleged US flag desecration.

For example soon after New Orleans was occupied, there was a riot where a US flag was burned. The next day a man wearing a sprig of what was supposed to be part of the burned flag was arrested and subsequently hung by the military commander, "Spoons" Butler.
