Ouch! Sorry to hear of your injured wrist. Heal quick!
Sue the rug manufacturer. ;-)
Alito gets to make an opening statement at 4
Thanks. I'll listen to Rush and follow the live thread until then. I'm in no mood to listen to hot air coming from the Dems.
It's on live on C-span but they're just walking around getting set up right now....
Mrs. Alito does look very relaxed.
Here comes the crowd....
All those cameras! I despise having my picture taken....what a nightmare!
Well, I hope Diane Feinstein quizzes Alito on the fate of the Hapless Toad.
That keeps me awake at night. Justice Roberts was very lacking in a full disclosure about that poor Hapless Toad.
Poor thang. How would anyone like going through life and being labeled 'Hapless'?
I want Alito's legal opinion as a candidate for a Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States of America on the Hapless Toad. That should be the litmus test every future justice has to take.
{SQUISSSHHHHH}
[Dang car. There goes another Hapless Toad trying to cross the highway. RIP little green.]
