[shield]

Do these people have time limits??? Geezzzz....

[msnimje]

Now Senator Sessions points to this lady Greenberger as one of the authors of filibuster strategy. He is excellent

You think the equally "attractive" woman sitting behind her is her "wife?"

[beyond the sea]

I don't know........ I saw none of the hearings.........

[AliVeritas]

LOLOL

[onyx]

Mo, you know Lynn Swann! Famous Steeler --- wide receiver, wasn't he?

[JackTom]

Supposedly each senator has 5 minutes for questons.

[beyond the sea]

[Mo1]

My mistake ... you are correct

I was thinking of someone else

Excuse me while I go back to my corner *L*

[onyx]

Panel # 5.

Which whore, I mean door, Monte?

[defconw]

ROFLOL, These hearings have us all a little out of sorts!

[Mo1]

Yes .. now I do

For some odd reason I was thinking of chic running on the Dems side

My brains cells aren't working today

[msnimje]

I'm not sure every nominee could execute the same strategery

They can to the extent they not say a thing about their personal views, only their legal views and keep to the "new tradition" set by Roberts that personal views have no room on the Supreme Court.

As he said, this is why they all wear Black Robes.

[AliVeritas]

Now you've made me cry... I just realized how hard i've been working.


Ooh, Harvard.

[Rheo]

Jeff Sessons....Ms. Greenberger..you sort of represent a collalition of groups that are for the activist judiciary.....found NYTs 2001 article about retreat that democrat senators had for the purpose of forging a unified strategy to combat the WH judicial nominees....you and Professor Tribe and Professor Cassunsteen appeared and it states that you said to them...important for the senate to change the ground rules and not to confirm someone simply becuz they were scholarly or edudite...so I guess my question to you....are you the architect of the fillibuster strategy...do you claim credit for that?

Greenberger...giggle...well Senator Sessions..you know you can't always trust what reporters say in terms of the accuracy...giggle...barf...I never talked about changing the groundrules for confirmations at all so I'm not certain about that article...not something I would have said

[ChadGore]

Charles Fried from Harvard Law endorsing Roberts.

[confederacy of dunces]

Right back atcha. Have to run. Hope to chat with you soon.

[melancholy]

You think the equally "attractive" woman sitting behind her is her "wife?"

LOLOLOL........Maybe ITS wife!

[AliVeritas]

This guy is breaking it down.

[Mo1]

Listening to these people are melting my brain

Now this dude is talking about the french fry case and the hapless toad

SEE WHAT I MEAN!!
