The Dems like Feingold and Schumer, were characteristically disrespectable and tried, unsuccessfully to rile Alito.
I think they feel defeated. Schumer doesn't need an excuse to be an @ss, but he was particularly vile.
Stick a fork in these proceedings, their done, along with the Dems hopes of making Alito look bad. It's simply not possible.
I agree with ken's statement at the beginning of the thread that the Republicans strategy has been working quite well.
I agree with you assessment....which should make the dems want to wrap this up SOON...so it can go to the Senate..
where they have expert bloviators..(speaking of Robert KKK Byrd)...
THEN, just let him get confirmed and move along..they aren't doing themselves any favors by drawing this out.
Oh...but then, they get to confront their "fearless" leader Harry Reid being smacked around by the Justice Dept...
I wonder if Chrissy Matthews will go after him...like he has Karl Rove??? LOL
