Robert's wife has two more degrees than he does.....Maybe she should be nominated for the next justice position....;^)

Great minds........ I had that exact same thought yesterday. HAH!

If Sprecter leaves the Senate then I shudder to think who Rendell would appoint. Since Rendell is from Philly he might help that city out by appointing Mayor Street to the Senate.

10% more than an equivalently qualified man,

Was this a margin of safety against getting into trouble? ;-)

Hatch has a longer fuse, but we went after Schumer two years ago for asking Roberts what Hatch characterized as "Dumb Ass" questions. He's not a bully, but Hatch has a backbone and he's far more reliable then Specter. I hold my breath with Specter.

I've had enough of these clowns. I thought they had planes to catch.

How can some of them operate with so much fear in the room? /sarcasm

Fienstine is going to end up voting for Roberts.... I think the dems are pulling back to have a better shot at the next nominee.

I remember THAT! Thanks for reminding us. Hatch did us proud that day.

You mean the "womyn" who looks like Fred Gwynne with a wig? Some activist from a "womyn's" Law Group. Rather creepy lady.

Is Swann running in PA for Governor or not? If he won, Specter could leave and Swann could appoint Toomey. LOL OK I am awake again now. :)

Oh, I do too -- it's just he's less, well, gentlemanly maybe? than too many Republicans. He'd be valuable if, as I said, he were reliably on our side.

"I'll never, ever, discount the slipperiness of Slick50, or whatever it is they're using, again."

They are using the jelly fish in the US Senate

BUT they forgot a man like Judge Roberts come once in a lifetime!

Actually I am thoroughly enjoying the hearings much as I have enjoyed the past five years generally. Politically this has been a great period for us. After hearings for Bork, Kennedy, Souter, Thomas, Breyer, Ginsberg -- we actually have a great nominee that ripped up the 'Rat Senators (rather than the other way around). We've won two close Presidential elections and added Senate seats three cycles in a row. We still have the House. We ran Dan Rather off the set. Life is good.

This woman is no beauty -- poor thing -- no wonder her outlook is hostile to men.

***Fienstine is going to end up voting for Roberts.... I think the dems are pulling back to have a better shot at the next nominee.***

Did you hear her say she was expecting a much more conservative nominee than Roberts???

Don't worry hon'... that one's coming !!!
