They are asking questions for the potential clips, not for the answers.

Such a waste of time. Specter should limit the questions to be asked one time.

[You Dirty Rats]

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

He must really believe that attacking the President on this issue (national security) is a winning political strategery! FOOL!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Leahy wont let him answer his question; he wants to keep Alito pinned down and not let him speak.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

verbatim? I missed it!

[Howlin]

did you know that the poll kennedy quoted yesterday was one he commissioned himself and that he left out the parts that said bush was right in what he did?

[saveliberty]

All that would do would mean that these windbags would jam the same soundbytes into fewer questions.

Cutting the mike is all that would work.

[hsalaw]

Specter was the same way - wouldn't let Alito finish his answers. I guess they learned with Justice Roberts that if you let one of these very, very smart judges answer a question, it makes them look like fools. Leahy is really into the strip search thing - old fart.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

LOL
Got a link?!

Sheese; Leahy is stuck on the 10 yr old girl being stripped searched but alito said is it was legal; Leahy wants situational ethics; not the law being upheld.

[LisaFab]

You're welcome. He said it when trying to get Alito to convict W. on FISA.

[Howlin]

it was on the grapevine last night

[RedBloodedAmerican]

BRB: Leahy is talking about his childhood and family; I need to go get some kleenex...

[OXENinFLA]

Leahy said he "served in law enforcement"?

Does he mean as a State's Attorney?

That sure is a hellofa lot different than a COP.

[Jrabbit]

Here we go....back to Alitos father....Leakys sound bite so far is "10 year old girl"

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Asking questions about prejudice.

Gee. He is friends with Byrd.

H Y P O C R I T E

[LisaFab]

Yes. He was saying it facetiously though.

[Howlin]

here comes the princeton group

[Clint N. Suhks]

Alioto has common sense and is reasonable? Good for him.

Shut up Leaky! Quit interrupting.

IF a drug dealer plants drugs on a 10 year old and you have "reasonable proof " he does then you'd let it slide? Leaky is an idiot.

[Dad yer funny]

I must turn the TV off , I'll just stay with youGUYS on this thread

[maggief]

Leahy ... giving his bio ... WGAS!

[tiki]

I need a barf bag.
