ALITO CONFIRMATION HEARINGS
Questioning Begins Today
Each of the eighteen senators on the Judiciary Cmte. will have 30 minutes to question Supreme Court nominee Samual Alito today during round one. Sen. Arlen Specter, as chairman, will begin, then they will alternate by party in order of individual seniority. Round two starts on Wednesday.
Isn't the most useless man reportedly in Maine right now?
Take a deep breathe. The Kohl family no longer owns Kohl's department stores. They haven't for many years.
Whew! Thanks. I thought I might have to do myself in.
LOL! Flatulence, at NARAL? LOL
Chris Matthews was amazed last week when DNC Chairman Howard Dean even balked at uttering the politically-correct term "pro-choice": "Now, you're getting hesitant on the war and hesitant on abortion rights. It's very hard to get clarity from your party."
After seven attempts by Matthews to clarify the party's position on abortion, what was Dean's final response? "A woman and a family have a right to make up their own minds about their health care without government interference. That's our position."
"I , also used to think Biden was okay. But he had to go and open his mouth to speak..."
My thoughts, exactly.
And you have to look at his hair, or what he thinks is hair.
I use to attend meetings (not political) with his first wife. I did not know her well, but she was a very kind, friendly woman.
Such a shame she was killed in that awful accident.
IMHP, Feinstein ( up next) is the one to watch..she won';t vote for him..but if she throws i the towel ..ghoes easy on the questions..like Biden..then it means the Dems have decided NOT to even try to mount a filabuster..
While finding ways to fill up the coffers of the Clinton Foundation. Anyone who donates to that charity needs his/her head examined.
I know. They have fabulous sales.
Toon and Chiraq. Those two have ever so much in common.
bttt
Maybe he heard Brownback and Coburn yesterday..

Apparently a lot since Kofi is Clinton's guy in the UN
Roe v. Wade could be overturned .. if the right case was presented to the Court
IMO .. I think some law makers don't word their bills properly and that is why many get knocked down
Marshalls instead?
Notice that Kohl was demanding Alito's personal opinion on the Bush v Gore stuff. Alito slapped him down by showing that his personal opinion did not count, that he would have to study the facts as it pertained to law- and he had not done that yet.
Oh yeah- Kohl also stated that this type of election law case would never come before the SC again. Alito disagreed with him- pointing out that election laws will most certainly come before the SC again. Perhaps not the Presidential race- but most definitely a different election.
"Take a deep breathe. The Kohl family no longer owns Kohl's department stores. They haven't for many years.
Whew! Thanks. I thought I might have to do myself in"
Double WHEW! A Sigh of relief! I really like that store and for a moment there I thought I would have to boycott them FOREVER... :0)
True, but you must agree, both Alito and Roberts had to swallow most of their true beliefs in front of this PC witch hunt...And that's what I mean by 'stealth' candidates.
I think even if she runs hard at him, the DEMs are resigned to the up or down vote. I don't blame them for holding fire on the filibuster rhetoric until the hearings are somewhat underway. After all, they reason, the nominee may very well step on his crank.
How interesting from the party that wants the government to control health care for all people.
