Alito is being punished by Durbin for being honest on his job application.

Heard Savage say that he had a picture of Schumer picking his nose......anyone see it?

[CharlesWayneCT]

That is the crux of the lie of abortion. If abortion is NOT the termination of life, there is no reason to try to make it rare, or discourage it.

Of course, democrats are not actually DOING anything to make it rare, or discouraging it, so they don't actually MEAN what they say -- it's just that most americans say it should be rare so that's what the democrats say to try to keep a few people voting for them.

Durban: "Your group discriminates against women according to Diane Weeks"

Alito: "I hired Diane Weeks".

Pow!

[milagro]

I just cheered--out loud--at that answer!

most people will say the Constitution prevails.

Even if the precedent coincides with the earliest years?

Further, you would want to paint yourself into a corner in the event a future opinion would hinge on that? It would seem to me the smart person would avoid limiting himself in this venue and reserve those issues for actual opinions in actual cases.

Only the short sighted reactionary would fall into the trap of limiting future options.

they have NOTHING so they are grasping at anything. They will never hold Byrd accountable for his association with the KKK or Teddy's association with murderers, but they are jamming him on membership in a college group 30 YEARS AGO.

Hey DICK, what groups are you a member of?

[MinuteGal]

Dick of Arabia.

This Princeton club thing has been discussed and discussed and discussed..Yawn.

[daybreakcoming]

durbin: are you a Bruce Springsteen fan?

[OldFriend]

Brian Lamb has an agenda and it's not good for America. My fear is that as he allows crazies to call in and refer to the President as the devil himself, someone will resort to violence.

[retrokitten]

Talking about Bruce Springstein?

[Pukin Dog]

That picture has only been on the Drudge headline all night.

DICK 'The Turbin' Durbin: You are a racit Mr. Alito

[Pyro7480]

Odd segway into another subject...

[CharlesWayneCT]

Toobin last night was complaining that everybody has to have an opinion on Roe except the justices that can change it.

I wonder if Toobin thinks that a judge should be required to tell us whether a defendant is guilty or not before he is allowed to sit on the case?

[OXENinFLA]

"ARE YOU A BRUCE SPRINGSTINE FAN?"

WTF??!!?!

[jslade]

I am sick of the constant pounding of the candidate with nothing but abortion, Abortion, ABORTION.

Don't you understand. Abortion is the official religion of the RAT party.

Leahy sounds and looks constipated this morning.

He always looks that way. And, when he talks, he sounds like it too.
