"An incredibly smart man? Who are you listening to? Byrd is a complete moron."

What has he done?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

I graduated from a Catholic all male high school. Thankfully, I went four years without that dick impact.

Another Scottish treat was discussed on FR a few years back...Deep-fried Mars bar taking Scotland by storm

Sigh, but the kids in the pageant at the 4pm Mass are the cutest.

My sister lives in India. She became Protestant many years ago and fell out of the practice to go to church. She went to a midnight mass far away with her oldest daughter and she wrote that there were thousands and thousands who went to this Mass.

Also curious that India has school Christmas vacation and the kids have a Secret Santa exchange.

Go figure.

ewww....just ewwwwwww....gag

Is haggis the color of that putrid tie the Scottsnman is wearing? I picture it being green.....yuck!

[Trust but Verify]

That's pretty close. Be careful.

[mystery-ak]

[saveliberty]

LOL! Scot is what ye are and scotch is what ye drank

I think the insistence on INDEPENDENCE needs to be shouted loudly by every Republican--because it just really dawned on me how greatly this whole confirmation process is infringing on the independence of the judiciary. Biden and Schumer and Feinstein all insist that if a judge opposes abortion--or takes any kind of stand on issues which is in conflict with their views--they are not qualified to be candidates for the Supreme Court. That severly damages the independent status of SCOTUS!!

If a person's RELIGIOUS beliefs would incline them to be against abortion,Dems would be call them right wing ideologues and they would not have a chance of being confirmed. To me--that is discrimination on the basis of religion--denying someone a Federal job!

So not only are the Dems guilty of undermining the independent status of the courts--they are guilty of religious discrimination!

[A Citizen Reporter]

"I think that after this confirmation, congress should address the issue..no more "if/then" retirements."

I agree with you. I think that the announcement of a retirement should be more clear than that, and it's bothered me that O'Connor qualified hers.

[saveliberty]

LOL! Sorry! I forgot since I was not posting a photo of she who must not be named

[goodolemr]

This stuff is boring the hell out of me... man oh man. I feel for Alito.

[ilovew]

Have you ever watched him on CSPAN? He rants incoherently about President Bush and the war. I've never heard him say anything remotely intelligent.

[maxter]

"He'd have to knock Chuckie out of the way..

LOL!!

[Trust but Verify]

Darla Ruth needs some schoolin' apparently.

[Mo1]

I've never heard him say anything remotely intelligent.

HEAR ME ... HEAR ME NOW!!

[maggief]

More the color of the suit ...

[syriacus]

So not only are the Dems guilty of undermining the independent status of the courts--they are guilty of religious discrimination!

Two very good points.

[Mo1]

Yea I know ... and FR is the best place to get it ;0)
