No dwarf can be a good lawyer.

Youe comment makes Robert Reich feel emo.

See?

[Jrabbit]

oooops....I didn't ping you to my post! gasp

[Big Horn]

I would love to see some of the senators trying to answer questions from the Freepers.

[LisaFab]

Yes, but his comment that they worked to keep the male population there stable will be spun by the libs.

[defconw]

Say Senator Sessions speaks three times fast and see what you sound like.

[Cboldt]

Schumer is on now saying that "we don't know any more now, than we knew before". A simple untruth. He's a partisan piece of sh!t whether he is skilled or not. He is still a hack.

That was a replay from earlier today (at least what I saw on C-SPAN was a replay). Schumer was saying basically that Alito is not entitled to the job, he has to earn it by answering in more specific terms, "something." But you know the funny thing? Schumer didn't define what that "something" was. Instead he used the most general answers as examples of why Alito answers weren't enough. "Open minded" is not enough (I agree), etc. [I forget the others, getting tired here LOL]

So yes, Schumer was lying, but he does so with skill. Quite a few folks can't see through it. And yes, he is a hack. A smooth one at that.

(disappointment that there haven't been any fireworks)

They (mostly Chris Wallace) want "sharper" questioning. This does not mean, mind you, more intelligent questions. A good question, from their point a view, would be "Isn't it true, Judge, that you are in fact a racist and that you want to strip ten year old children".

OK you have me laughing:)I have the flu and when I talk I cough.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Now they have a "spin alley" for Supreme court nominations? Geesh.

Here's your challenge (if you choose to accept it)

Since you have an extensive picture library for all occasions, and since this is a SCOTUS thread....

Please post pics of "penumbras and emanations"

A breach of ping etiquette?!

[Jrabbit]

Oh come on Brit!! He's getting on my last nerve! PLEASE!

[conservativebabe]

Didn't realize it was a replay, but I'll bet dollars to donuts that he will say the same thing at the end of the day.

[saveliberty]

Excellent, thank you!
