Oh how I wish Alito could respond to Kennedy by saying, "You know you aren't going to support me no matter how I answer your questions, so if you don't mind, I'll take my potty break while you're reading your false indictment of me."

You can include Biden and Schumer on that list also. No matter what Alito says in his testimony, they will vote against him.

So, why are we having these hearings? Do we really need to spend all this money just to give the Senators face time? Never mind, I know the answer.

Notice how no matter how well Alito explains his decisions, Kennedy repeats his contention that his decision was wrong?

Yep...

I mean those that didn't vote for Roberts OBVIOUSLY won't vote on anything against party lines.

So, why are we having these hearings?

Before teevee, they were rare, if not unheard of. Senators could learn enough through other records. Heck, they still can.

I hope everyone notices the difference between, for example, Grassley and Biden. Grassley got in an amazing number of probitive questions. AND, he listened to the answers. These questions dug out important information about Alito.

Then along comes Biden. He may not even get in a single question! He simply can't shut up his personal self-promotion! and I bet Biden is lying about what he remembers about Bill Bradley!! He's just so fullashit his eyes are brown!

the only important thing Biden has said, and his time has to be half way up already is: Judge, I'm in your district, and I've talked to the people you work with, and they all think you are great.
