Specter showed some real (and unusual) strength today. I have some hope that he just may set the record straight.
Specter's running of the committee has been very impressive in all of these hearings. He is doing an excellent job. I don't agree with those that trash him. Yes, he was unfortunate in the Bork hearings. That was a long time ago.
He better...because if he doesn't...all of the authority, which he has used to keep the hearing from getting totally out of hand...will be gone!
I wish we could get an address for the Alitos...I would love to send Mrs. Alito some flowers...bless her heart.
I really didn't "get" how upsetting it was for her...until I watched some of the replay...and I think it is because I am a regular Senate watcher....
As a regular Senate observer...I think I have become so used to the outrageous remarks of Kennedy, Durbin, and Schumer...that I didn't realize how hard for her this was.
I thought maybe a few night owls would be interested in this.
What Would You Ask Samuel Alito?
President Bush's nominee already knows the answers to questions the White House coaches and handlers anticipated, but he hasn't heard from you -- yet.
As he makes his case to serve on the nation's Supreme Court, what is the most important question you think Samuel Alito should answer?
