If it is something competent, what we would expect the Democrats to do other than destroy it?
Is this the extent of the Drudge article?..... Or was there more than what you posted?
betch you this is a red herring.
He was a member of the Democratic Party?
Boy, I hope Alito doesn't have any adopted children ... remember that one?
You know, forget the donkey. The mascot of the Democrat Party ought to be the lemming.
Well, I have just one thing to say. This confirmation is bottom-line important. It MUST go through. And the man responsible for pushing it through is President Bush.
If he wants our support in the remaining three years of his term in office, if he wants to do well in the midterm elections, if he wants to be succeeded in the White House by a Republican who will continue his work, then he MUST see to it that Alito is confirmed.
It's not up to Specter. Specter wouldn't be sitting there if not for Bush. It's not up to Lincoln Chaffee. It's up to the one man who can twist arms and distribute favors.
Now is the time. The Republican Party simply can't afford to lose this vote, or they will be disgraced.
No excuses, no "I tried, but the Democrats were too much for us." We must have results, we will support results, and we will reward results. But we must have results, or the Republicans' name will be MUD.
So I must just say a prayer for Sam Alito and order a DVR from the cable company as this will be entertainment.
If anyone had ever been confused about what the Dems have to offer America. Be ye not confused forevermore. The answer is NOTHING. This is what they have chosen to spend their time working on. Not budgets, not real energy reform, not real pork barrell cuts. Not election finance reform. Delaying for 1 extra week, the up or down vote on a Supreme Court Nominee so they can try and dig up more dirt. MEanwhile, their beloved Sandra Day O'Connor who has asked to retire, continues to be NOT RETIRED. They care so much about her, that they have basically rejected her retirment.
Harry Reid. I can't wait to see your head in a noose from this Abramoff scandal. CAN NOT WAIT
Just reported on FNC that seven justices asked to be able to speak next week before the Judicial committee. Specter approved this. The reason is they want to address the unfairness with which Alito has been treated. Hooray and Thank the Lord.
So he supported an organization that opposed affirmative action. So damn what?
The RATS have gone over the cliff so many times in the last few years. I suggest they adopt Willey Coyote as their party mascot.HEY Dirtbag dems.....
This quote from Drudge is exactly how America will react....
"I don’t understand how what a guy named Foote wrote in some magazine has anything to do with Alito"
Maybe the superwits at Kos or DU or whatever Sewer du jour is being frequented by Shumer and company will get it, but regular, normal Americans...will blow it off and yet the rage will grow...Its gonna be fun to watch the Democrat Party have a collective Cerebral Hemorrhage...
That said, attacking Alito, who graduated in 1972, the same year CAP was founded, for CAP's actions in the late 1970s and early 1980s, is outrageous, unless there is evidence that Alito had input into CAP's later actions, or that he knowingly expressed support for them. His mere mention of the group in a cover letter in 1985 does not mean that he supported or even knew about all that it was doing.
Also, on its face, the charge of "sexism" or legally questionable views because CAP opposed women at Princeton is weak. Colleges do not have to go co-ed, and who would blame Hillary Rodham (Clinton) if she had opposed (or still does oppose) admitting women to Wellesley College, which remains all-women?
Also, although I have heard charges and characterizations of racism, I have not seen direct CAP quotes (let alone ones from 1972, or ones written by Alito) which were clearly racist. CAP did oppose racial preferences and did prefer the "bad old days" of white men in the 1950s. That said, I've seen nothing indicating they opposed admissions of minorities on the same terms as whites, and for that matter CAP's controversial articles from the early 1980s were written by Dinesh D'Souza, not an African American, but an Indian with skin as dark as most Africans; if CAP would let such a person actually write for them, it's hard to believe they opposed minorities in their school.
There are a lot of conservatives ready to go to the mat yet again to ensure we get a good justice.
Give 'em hell judge - beat all Dims with the power of superior intellect, just like John Roberts!
