"durbin is already beginning a sheen of sweat from his hairline down"

And Brian Wilson said this morning that it was so cold in that room that it felt like a meat locker.

[You Dirty Rats]

he's beating the dead horse, again.

So are the posters on this thread going on about Miers. I wish they would take that pointless topic to WEBEATADEADHORSE.com.

Is Durbin trying to tie Alito to the coal mining accident in WV ??

[Pukin Dog]

ITS A PILE OF COAL!

Alito now pummiling Durbin, backs him into the corner with a left and a right. The croud goes wild!

[Clint N. Suhks]

Little Dick is a pile of...

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Alito is pretty level headed. No change in emotion. I would have hit the abuse button and asked the mods to ban Durbin by now.

The greatest weapon against abortion we will have in the coming years will be advances of medical science..notice that we no longer hear the "ball of cells" argument...

[netmilsmom]

He killed every one of those miners, don't ya know.
Personally pumped CO2 down there.

[Mo1]

Judge Alito what is your favorite color?

Judge Alito, if you were a tree .. what kind of tree would you be

[ken5050]

Easy..read every 10th..one...LOL

[Bahbah]

Is Durbin trying to tie Alito to the coal mining accident in WV ??

Of course. We saw this coming several days ago, right after the mine accident. This becomes more and more ridiculous.

[Cboldt]

I didn't want to flesh out the argument about the relative superiority of SCOTUS decisions and the Constitution. You are discussing tactics for the hearings, and as I said, Alito's answer will give (temporary) heartburn to some traditionalists (those who hold that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, as compared with those who hold SCOTUS as the supreme law of the land).

If it makes you happy, I'll concede that you are absolutely correct, and there is no need for futher talk pn the matter.

[newnhdad]

he's telling him how to do his job. "You ruled narrowly"
That's what judges do, jerk..

[GOPyouth]

Alito just gave Durbin a lesson in Civil vs Criminal court regarding the "mentally retarded" case. That really made Durbin look like a fool.

[Mo1]

this is total misrepresentation = but that's the way the DEMS operate.

BINGO!

[Jrabbit]

Durbin got in a little slap....2 REAGAN appointed judges disagreed with Alito. A pile of coal is a mine....ooooh kaaay

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Alito was responsible for Katrina. Wait..that was Bush. Okay, Alito is responsible for the Stock Market crash. Wait, that was bush, too. Hmm. Okay, Alito is responsible for...

Bwa! Alito cut him off from making an accusation and moving on and is answering his attack!! WAHOO!

[retrokitten]

LOL! I was thinking the exact same thing!!

"Crushing hand of fate"! DRINK!

[COUNTrecount]

okay. here we go with the mines.. I figured it would happen sooner.

Don't these Senators have anyone doing research for them so that they don't ask stupid questions that show them to be uneducated fools?
