What?

[newnhdad]

why in blazes won't she call it ABORTION????


ps - i know why, I just hate the butchering of the language.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

:_)

[old_sage_says]

Of course not.

[LisaFab]

That's what I mean. And before I'm flamed, I understand why they must do it, but I'm not liking some of these answers.

That said, the sooner he's seated, the happier I'll be!

[Cboldt]

But how many days can they go on? Three right?

Thursday's hearings are scheduled, and Alito is not on the hot seat for that. The Senators get a second round tomorrow.

[Pukin Dog]

Not me, I'm just a pilot, I cant count that high.

[samadams2000]

Yeah I give him 6 months.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I still wish we could get a nominee who could say the truth about abortion.

That was funny, he says he keeps telling her he didn't say something, and she keeps saying I know but this is what I want you to have said so I can attack you for it.

[puroresu]

I'm sure Alito is really working up a sweat having to match the stunning brain power of Dunce Cap Row (the Senate Judiciary Democrats).

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

If it's anything like the first round they'd be better-served by not showing up.

[mware]

Good Lord, I remember once that woman once referred to a fertilized embryo as not being a zygote.

[Peach]

Alito just sounded like Rumsfeld there:

This is what I had and you work with what you've got. LOL

[CharlesWayneCT]

I don't like some of his answers. I take small consolation in realising that if this was Miers giving these answers, I would have to eat crow for a lot of posters on FR. This way, I can smirk at them instead. See, its not what is said, it's whose horse is saying it.....

[Mo1]

why in blazes won't she call it ABORTION????

Voters - seems they are are afraid to use the word lately

[samadams2000]

They dont live together remember...Americas best kept secret by the press..so they cant have an airborn disease.

[newnhdad]

he just jammed her on it so she switched the topic..
Take a seat Dianne, you've been owned.

[encm(ss)]

Sleuth. Not Slooth. Sorry. You are a super sleuth.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Yeah. I bet many would be surprised to learn that Margaret Sanger(the one whom is hailed) was a bitter woman out to stop inner city women from pro-creating(mostly black women). I'm thinking that would cause many to reconsider motives. But it is kept under wraps, like it was the plague.

[N. Beaujon]

My God, she actually seems to have given up on the abortion thing. This guy seems untouchable.
