190 was just me messing around :)

Gee .. ya think the Dems are fishing to see how to limit that President's powers in a time of war with these questions???

[maggief]

Drinking words ...

"super precedent"

"extreme"

"Alley-o-toe"

"out of the main stream"

"swing vote"

[RedBloodedAmerican]

However Leahy is trying to get Alito to rule on Bush right now. Ass!

[saveliberty]

LOL LOL LOL! Okay, you win!

[MattMa]

That question was not asked.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Leahy is an idiot. He wants Alito to indict Bush.

On a live thread, please say if you are making up quotes. Some of us can't watch the hearing from our offices!

Great post

[ilovew]

Exactly. I don't like Specter either. And every time he uses the phrase "a woman's right to choose" I really wish I could hit him. But even just today, he seemed like he was trying to help Alito.

[saveliberty]

I love W too :-)

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I wish it was. It would cut days, maybe weeks off this.

k

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Ok, I will have it removed.

[Mo1]

Is it ok for the President to authorize the murder of someone ???

[Not A Snowbird]

That little smirk on Leahy's face is truly annoying.

[Hoodat]

>Prayers for Alito<

That is the key to this whole process.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

sorry. I hit abuse to remove it. I was wishful thinking...

[KCRW]

Apparently, Leahy has decided to put Bush on trial during the Alito hearings.

The key word here is the President's initials. If this were Clinton, or any RAT President, it would be argued that he had the authority to do it on his own, FISA or no FISA, and he would be hailed as a hero.

Of course, their view on the girl having no time to wait before getting an abortion would stand. As Rush says, Abortion is their sacrament, in their religion of secularism.
