Well, maybe after Bush names another SC justice, you can change your screen name to "Twothirdsright"

Mark these words by Biden to Alito:

"Thank you for your graciousness. You've been very responsive in your answers."

Remember...... because with straight faces, editorial writers, Jeffrey Toobin on CNN, and democrats will accuse Alito of being non-responsive,

"Unbelievable. The dems seem to think if a woman or black bring a discrimination suit against anyone, the verdict should be guilty. What baloney. Biden talks about "subtle" discrimination. Where I work, if I go for a promotion and there is a woman or minority on the list (I'm a white male), a letter has to be written to the EEO office if a women or minority is not hired. HEH DEMS WHAT"S SUBTLE ABOUT THAT? God I hate these people."


Couldn't have said it better. I'm with you on being utterly disgusted with them.

" Biden's words are all a jumble to me - I can't focus on a thing he is saying - uh uh uh uh etc. etc."

I dread the day I enter an airplane and see Soliloquy Joe seated in the exit row.
Can you imagine an emergency where SJ was required to act quickly and decisively ?
Instead of turning the handle and opening the emergency exit-
Bloviating Biden would say he was puzzled and confused,
then ask fuzzy and bizarre questions,
grimace manically ,
offer inappropriate biographical details of his family, uhhhhh and uhhhh,
attempt to look intelligent by raising his voice and eyebrows ,
do his Jack Nicholson " Here's Johnny !! " grin ,
offer phony back handed compliments to the Flight Attendants and then say the airline pilot was arrogant because he ignored General Shinseki's advice to have more emergency exits.

"He's coming across in his answers as good as Roberts."

My same thoughts. Even with months to make up false characterizations, the Rat Senators' "attacks" are going absolutely nowhere.

Alito - I don't think looking to foreign law is helpful to discern OUR form of government.
Our Constitution is more protective of human rights than foreign law is.
Other times looking to foreign law is legitimate, e.g., interpretation of an international treaty - provate cases where the rule of decision (by contract) is based on foreign law.

Confirm him already!

Yes. My state Senator(Kyl). He's pointing out how Justice Breyer and others use the standards of several other nations(he names them) to make their rulings. Do those justices need a refresher course in how to uphold our constitution, or what?
