RECESS APPOINTMENT OF ALITO

Can you recess appoint a Justice of the SCOTUS?

[rockthecasbah]

Um, I was referring to Mr. Reid, not you.

See post 464.

Pubs back up!

I can't believe these comments ..

My jaw is on the ground"


CHIT!! WHAT?!! I just tuned in...what the hell is going on?!!

[workerbee]

Some reporterette actaully asked if this was about delaying Alito vote -- Durbin said this has nothing to do with it and won't stop the Judic Comm from moving forward with Alito.

[popdonnelly]

You cannot play games or "make nicey" with the Dems. Washington just isn't like that. It's a playground for unscrupulous people.

They want to discuss Libby......how about talking about Sandy Berger who actually STOLE classified documents. Gee, that story disappeared very quickly.

Call the Senate and tell the Dims THEY are manipulating the country. They're ticked that Fitz didn't indict Rove and then the President nominates Alito, who Reid warned against and so they help our enemies by criticizing the war.

[hobbes1]

yes.

[Mo1]

The Dems just hijacked the Senate and put in in Closed Session

[LisaFab]

Oops. Replay of Pubs.

[Political Junkie Too]

You're welcome. Just here to help... ;-) (there's another one up above who also missed the point)

.....Frist needs to rip Harry's lungs out! (figuratively speaking).....
Please recall he is a heart surgeon. He can do a spectacular job if he just will.

[Renfield]

Alito is only secondary. It has now sunk into the Dems that they have lost power...can't really do anything. They are making a desparate power grab, trying to keep any news that can possibly be bad for Republicans in the headlines.

[jennyjenny]

I hope Frist did get warning they were going to do this and let them go ahead and bigger arses out themselves. I think this is hilarious.

If there were any intelligent dems out there, the first thing they would do is demand Dean and Reid step down as DNC chair and minority leader. They just costs themselves a bunch of votes.

[Rutles4Ever]

I think this is splendid news. Desperate House-naves.

[goldstategop]

The funny thing is they can close the doors every day but they can't discuss their objections in public. No TV time is Sen. Reid's idea of free publicity. Idiots!

Can Specter call Judiciary Committee hearings during these "closed sessions"?
