They have no real choice. But listen, the rats on the committee were vicious as usual.
A justice from Hawaii ;)
I've watched/listened to 80% of the hearings in the last two days.
Judge Roberts is no Kennedy, Souter or O'Connor.
I am not worried, not even a little bit.
Oh now that is very funny!
"As a college student at Stanford, I watched the passing of the plate to collect money so a young woman could go to Tijuana for a back-alley abortion [murdering her innocent unborn child]. [Not a problem now.] [Thanks to judges that make sruff up and make their own law, we now have a government that murders children by the millions.] [And if a young mother to be can't afford to murder her own child, she doesn't even have to pass the plate.] [The taxpayer will pay for it.]"
If Joe Biden is the Ted Baxter of the Senate then who is the Eddie Haskell?? Diane feinstein is The Bad Seed.
His Jimness is spot on.
LMAO!
Why would you ever takes clues as to what you should think about something or someone from the MSM?
The MSM is not overjoyed with John Roberts and Alan Dershowitz is foaming at the mouth upset as is Nancy Grace and every other liberal lawyer in the country.
-----"The Democrats are so deluded by their own convoluted logic that they think the "right" to abortion stems from the right to privacy. John Roberts does not."
I have to kind of agree on this one point. He danced very effectively around this right to privacy question, and absolutely didn't refer to Blackmum's statements regarding privacy in RvW. But given how cagey he was, that doesn't mean anything really. But he sure was clever and funny. The democrats were laughing ... alot. When Thomas was nominated, no one was laughing. -----
One thing I don't get...
This "Right to privacy" is not outlined ANYWHERE in the constitution. It is clear that search and siezure is allowed, if done within certain constraints.
If WE THE PEOPLE decide that we want a broader right to privacy, what the hell happened to the old fashioned way of simply creating a constitutional amendment. In other words, follow the existing constitutional process.
For the SC to "decide that one exists", is not constitutional, pure and simple.
[the thought process of a liberal legislator]
Ted Baxter: for the young ones out there, that comes from the Mary Tyler Moore show, about a reporterette in a big city news room ... a comedy, and Ted was an overacting fool...
And yep, he is kind of like that...
Btw, whenever I read about a Hollywood man who was Married to one woman all the while and kept hold of a family ...
well:
PLYMOUTH-The nation knew him as Ted Baxter, the bumbling newscaster on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, but Terryville will always remember him as Teddy Konopka, the bright, young Polish boy who worked his way to Hollywood and made it big.
Ted Knight, Terryville's favorite son, died of cancer Tuesday at his Pacific Palisades home, his wife and three children at his side. He was 62.
He was born Dec. 7, 1923, on Allen Street in Terryville as Tadeus Wladyslaw Konopka. Town residents and family said this morning that Knight never forgot his Polish heritage or his roots.
Most fondly remember the day when in 1976, when he returned here and was the Grand Marshal for the town's bicentennial parade. During the festivities over 500 Terryville residents celebrated his success at a testimonial dinner that was sold out three months in advance.
"Everyone knew Ted, of course, as the showman," the actor's cousin, Matilda Levandoski, of Plymouth said this morning. "But he was a family person too. He loved his family very, very much and he was always proud of being from Terryville."
Knight was hospitalized last year for removal of a cancerous growth from his urinary tract. Levandoski said he had been ill with cancer for some time. He returned to the hospital earlier this month for treatments, she said.
Family members had planned to visit Knight in September, Levandoski said, estimating that Knight had 80100 relatives in the PlymouthBristolWaterbury area.
"He was proud to be from this town. It didn't matter to him that he was from a small town. Anybody could talk to him," Mayor Donna Warkoski said this morning. "He was so proud of his heritage. "
Warkoski said flags at town offices would fly at half mast until Friday when a private memorial service will be held in the Los Angeles area.
Knight was raised at a small house at 18 Allen St. His father was a Polish immigrant and was a bartender in town for many years. His mother was a housewife.
He graduated from Terryville High School in 1943. Henry Kornacki, a lifelong friend of Knight's, who was the toastmaster at the testimonial dinner in 1976, said he best remembers Knight "as an incredibly funloving person."
Kornacki, who attended grade school to high school with Knight, said he knew when they were in high school that his friend would have a future in show business.
"He was always pulling jokes and mimicking people. He was a great imitator," he said. "He was always a very bright person. The town will miss him dearly. "
The parade and testimonial dinner, he said, "were shining moments in Terryville history."

They're not. Sept. 14, 2005 headline in the Montgomery Advertiser: " Roberts refuses to answer questions" Subtitle: "Nominee for chief justice sidesteps questions on abortion, civil rights and more in sometimes contentious hearings"

Back away from FreeRepublic? And just where do you have your life CWW pray tell? I mean, if its better than Freeperville, I'm all for it!
More BS. Didn't Boxer say something similar not too long ago?
If you are from the Gainsville area of Florida, well then ok.
But if you are from the Ft. Lauderdale area and you are not worried ... hmmmmm....mmmmm...mmm.. :)
I meant to quote Feinstein. "As a college student at Stanford, I watched the passing of the plate to collect money so a young woman could go to Tijuana for a back-alley abortion."
Then respond by asking if Boxer had said something similar just recently.
Anyone that believes the dems are rolling and playing dead for no reason is in for a surprise.
he also gets a pass because of the young Kids
