This break will not be a long one.

Linday's been magnificent, but he really slammed them via their Ginsberg.

I am so thrilled, I am still shaking...lol.

[defconw]

Sessions could not look at Roberts he was afraid that he would make Roberts laugh. The Republicans just clearly out classed the Dems on this.

[auboy]

Thank you Lindsey for putting Ruth Vaders' true colors into the record.

[AliVeritas]

minority, LOL

Luttig would be great

[NeoCaveman]

Do we have any idea when the next nominee will be named?

My best guess is late Spetember, after Roberts is reported out of Committee or after his floor vote.

I'd imagine they will want to have a full court before the session begins, right?

He'd want to but it's near impossible. As the Senate Judiciary Committee is busy with this nomination.

[Kryptonite]

Will hear from Marsha Greenberger of National Women's Law Center, and other liberal (and conservative) special interest groups this afternoon. Also the ABA.

YAWN!

[AliVeritas]

Excellent picks Johnny.

[Chuck54]

Any clue, ballpark or otherwise when Pres. Bush will nominate for the other vacancy?

I think the next nominee will be named when this nominess is voted out of committee. Possibly next Thursday evening. I would think the same modus operandi, National Audience Announcement.

I now give you my next choice for the SC.........drum roll please............Miguel Estrada

[AliVeritas]

Uhhhh... yeah.

[Cyber Liberty]

They'll have a full court. O'Connor isn't leaving until she's replaced.

[auboy]

what kind of heart is that?

Ginsberg has a heart of cold.

[kabar]

I am not a big Lindsay Graham fan. He was grandstanding because he is in political trouble in SC. He will be pushing and supporting McCain for President.

[AliVeritas]

That caller said it perfectly.

[onyx]

I'd call it a dirty, black heart -- but that would be taken as racist, right?

[auboy]

Graham is pulling me back to his side. He has been super during these hearings.

[Puddleglum]

Anyone know where transcripts of this hearing will be posted?

[Bahbah]

Did you notice that Jeff Sessions was trying not to laugh out loud when Lindsey smacked the crap out of the Rats?

Did you hear Hatch's "outstanding" as he finished?

[CDB]

Lindsay is trying to reclaim his conservative bona fides after being part of the Gang of Fourteen.

Listening and watching him during these hearings, and reading the posts to this thread, makes me wonder whether Rush will come out with a new version of the "moderate seven" parody that will cast LG in a better light.

[syriacus]

You should hear NPR as we speak!!! unbelievable!!!

Maybe NPR will accidentally open the eyes of more libs today.

NPR, PBS, and the other DNC concubines, were so embarrassingly biased during the Thomas Hearings that I had to turn my back on the Liberal Party, which I had supported for 20 years. (I had campaigned for Eugene McCarthy)
