Maybe he figures they will go after him?

The chance of a filibuster to halt the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel Alito rose on news he once opposed 1960s Supreme Court rulings on reapportionment based on the principle of equal voting rights, a top Democrat on the Senate judiciary panel said on Sunday. Bring it on - I for one would like to see the "Constitutional Option" enacted for Presidential nomination Senate consent. Leave the filibuster for legislation, but I don't think it should be a weapon for either side on Presidential nominations. That's my opinion.

I forgot plagiarist. Remember when he stole British Labor Leader Neil Kinnock's speech? : )
We should start referring to him simply as Neil Kinnock Biden.

Well, I guess he's still brighter than Bill Bradley - he was rumored to be the dumbest man in the Senate. I guess Biden is just one step up.

And Biden's propensity for plagiarism should be a cause for removing him for the senate. A liar and cheat does not deserve to be pointing fingers at others.

They might as well be. When you lack the ability to reason your way out of a small brown paper bag....well....... It must be hard to stare reality in the face and deny its there : )

I have not read it yet either. I plan to get it for reading over Xmas.
If you get the chance read the comments at Amazon - a blast!

Either side of this particular issue is actually tenable; someone has to draw those lines, and it might be a good idea to have the courts as a backup in the case of gerrymandering. But Biden mischaracterized the living breathing hell out of what Alito's position was. Alito said that the courts should simply stay out of it, because an abusive court can be just as dangerous, if not more so, than an abusive legislature. I have been trying to learn Alito's actual view on the duplicate thread, but so far I haven't been able to figure it out. Could you be more specific as to why Alito would be against equal apportionment? Is there a case, or other writing that makes his view known?
