Thanks for the Bloomberg News excerpt and very nice pic of Judge Alito and his wife in #3376.

Specter Says Alito Accepts As “Good Law” Griswold Case Which Was Neither “Good” Nor “Law” And Gave Us Roe v. Wade

Brit called Mrs. Alitos tears and leaving the hearing "theatrics" then changed it to "dramatics"

I despise all media.

If you're talking about Brit Hume, I find it hard to believe (although I'm not questioning your integrity).

I would find it easier to believe that he was quoting that as something someone else said.

Nope...it's the way he started his panel segment, tonight. I think he immediately realized "theatrics" was quite harsh, so he changed it to "dramatics". If I were forced to pic a favorite media critter, it would be Brit. I was disappointed.

The news is saying that Bush has changed his mind about not wanting congressional hearings into the NRA wiretapping...he is now saying that it will be a good thing for America to find out exactly what the facts are...

Awesome. To me at least. The move has profound implications for future presidents.

I didn't see it, but he generally only reports what others say in the process of reporting the news.

That would disappoint me also.

And Drudge has on his sight that Kennedy was a member of an all male social club at Harvard... "the Owl". The Washington Times is going to have an article about it tomorrow.

Specter's running of the committee has been very impressive in all of these hearings. He is doing an excellent job.

Yes, as Rove said he would.

I don't agree with those that trash him. Yes, he was unfortunate in the Bork hearings. That was a long time ago.

Bork had his faults.

Specter was also one of the Clarence Thomas defenders.

This is Specter's Last Hurrah. I think he is executing his chairmanship of this committee with exceeding grace and humor. I actually like him this week, although I've never voted for him.

He exhibited the same likability when he defended Thomas.

I tell you one thing that the dems will be happy about...even if they don't keep Alito off the bench...they will scare a lot of nominees...

They may well be happy about it, but I think their intimidation tactic is not effective against people of the caliber that deserves a seat on the Supreme Court. As a party, they are becoming the bully who barks and threatens, then steps aside to let you pass. A couple of those, and regular folks lose their fear of the bully. As more and more people pass, the bully starts to look the fool.

SO...it could be Mission Accomplished as far as Soros and gang are concerned.

Only if the public and the legal theories that it supports move too far away from traditional social values in the areas of family, religion, and sanctity of life - and that can happen somewhat independently of seating good people on the Court.
