"He will have a couple of hairs out of place," the unnamed participant said. "I am not sure his glasses fit his facial features. He might not wear the right color tie. He won't be tanned. He will look like his is from New Jersey, because he is."

I would love to know if the New York Slimes wrote stuff like this when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nominated. This is a Supreme Court nomination hearing, not a damn fashion show.

[Cicero]

Yes, they can snidely criticize Katherine Harris's lipstick, but Ruth Bader Ginsberg's makeup is off limits.

[wagglebee]

The very idea of seeing Ginsburg without makeup is extremely frightening.

[jdm]

Without makeup?

[Neville72]

If you're going to talk about Katherine Harris you MUST provide a picture of her. LOL

[jazusamo]

Schumer dismissed the idea that Alito might turn the tables on his inquisitors?

It seems Schumer dost have a high opinion of himself and his Dims on the Judicial Committee. Roberts made fools out of couple of them at his hearing and I believe Alito will follow in his footsteps.

[Semper Paratus]

"Judge Alito, are you now or have you ever been a member of the Republican Party?"

"Rmember you are under oath!"

[upchuck]

"Overall," the Post writes, "the opinions Alito wrote are largely devoid of impassioned rhetoric or broad philosophic assertions. He grounds his views in close readings of legal precedents, statutes and government regulations."

Just doing what any good judge should do. And no more!

[jazusamo]

That'll be Biden's first question.

This is the one most male FReepers respond to positively:

[FreePaul]

Roberts made fools out of couple of them...

These (Senators) are self made men. Roberts merely let them demonstrate publicly that they are fools.

[Gondring]

This is the one most male FReepers respond to positively:

Yep...I respond every time...

[Mike Darancette]

I think that Alito will be filibustered.

[old republic]

I don't think that they will filibuster this time. I think that they are too afraid of the "nuclear option." The way that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid humiliated Frist by invoking rule 21 by surprise still fresh in memory. I don't think he will back down and many of the republicans in the Gang of 14 have said that if the democrats filibuster they will vote for the "nuclear option."

Cannot imagine why......excuse me is it warm in here.......

"He will have a couple of hairs out of place," the unnamed participant said. "I am not sure his glasses fit his facial features. He might not wear the right color tie. He won't be tanned. He will look like his is from New Jersey, because he is."

Such scholarly opinions/discourse at the NYTimes! I would recommend that they all take a look at what Harry Reid's objection to Roberts' nomination was, that having Roberts on the bench would make it look "less like America", more elitist. I'm not sure that most of us want the Supreme Court to look like some of the streets I drive through - the "Hey baby" segment of America.

[Cicero]

Compare and Contrast.

[festus]

OMG Its Fraziers ex-wife Merris ........

[Dog]

I'm responding.

[Optimus Prime]

I didn't see it. So what'd Roberts do?
