Just joining in- not sure when questions started this morning. Had to take children to schools.

Did I miss anything good?

Is there a ping list for these live thread thingy's? If so, may I be added to the list?

[FreedomNeocon]

The Swimmah': Vangard, Vangard, Vangard, Vangard, Hallib... oooops.... Vangard.

[maggief]

Egads ... look at his ears. Teddy could use a lobe-otomy. LOL

[Cboldt]

Specter: "Let's not forget to start the clock."

Kennedy won't get any traction from the "broken promise" to recuse from Vanguard cases. Of course Alito remembers the case was related to Vanguard, if he forgot anything, it was the "promise."

Plus, Alito eventually did NOT rule on the case - he passed the case to another panel of judges. The only argument Teddy has is that Alito breaks substantive promises, and that argument doesn't wash with this fact pattern.

LOL!

[mystery-ak]

I just stole this

[Howlin]

fox saying that the aba just issued a statement sayin alito did NO wrong in the vanguard case, so kennedy is lying

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Kennedy answering his own questions to Alito.

[lmavk]

You are just in time for the Kennedaaaaay.

[NeoCaveman]

Chappaquidick Fats speaks.

[tiredoflaundry]

Alito broke his "sacred" pledge which shouldn't have even been made in the first place! Is this really what the Dems want to spend their time on? God they are dumb.

DU is eating this up & loving it. That's who The Orca is keeping happy!

[newnhdad]

now his glasses are off and he's pointing them at Ahleeoto..

[rwa265]

Dammit, Ted, that question has been answered! Including by an expert you yourself have used!

[princess leah]

"Good grief, Leahy sounds just like Charlie Brown's teacher"

That's a terrible insult to Charlie Brown's teacher!

[jackv]

Oh no! don't know if my nerves can take this fat blob!!
Hahahaha! Smack down and he can't admit it!
Pig!!

[Mo1]

Teddy thinks he's got a gotcha on Alito with regard to Vanguard

Ha! WRONG Teddy

[Master of Orion]

[Howlin]

eating what up?

[mewzilla]

Kennedy's gotten campaign cash from Vanguard.

So have a lot of other Dems...

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

"Ahleeoto just reinforced his conservative philosophy by saying that judges should try to look at a narrow perspective instead of a broad perspective in making judgment."

Yes. And that is exactly what is needed on the bench. Many of the other Supreme Court Judges use such a broad spectrum of philosopies they end up confusing themselves and the rest of the country.
