Alito, a far more gracious man than I under such pressure.

U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito and his wife Martha share a laugh on the third day of his Senate confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington January 11, 2006. Alito faced more aggressive questioning at his Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday from Democrats who accused him of evasive answers and challenged his commitment to keep an 'open mind' on abortion.

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) makes a point as she questions Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito during the third day of his senate confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill in Washington January 11, 2006. Alito sought on Wednesday to ease fears that he would seek to overturn the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion, but Democrats said they were not convinced. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst

I think Biden is praying or dozing, heard rumor one of the senators was dozing off today.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Republican from Pennsylvania Arlen Specter (TOP), looks down the line at three Democratic Party senators (L-R) Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Red Kennedy (D-MA) and Joseph Biden (D-DE) on the third day of the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito on Capitol Hill in Washington January 11, 2006. Democratic party senators have criticized Alito's inability to recall details about his membership — which he listed on a Reagan administration job application in the 1980's — in a conservative organization that opposed the admission of women and minorities at Princeton University.

The liberals really have no choice but to maintain that their ugliness is really the fault of a decent man.

Of course, that's what they usually do, anyway. Decency is insulting to the Stalinist mob.

If we ever needed to see evidence of the difference between liberals and conservatives, we saw it again today. When you watch how the Democrats behave, it's discouraging to think they get any votes at all. The worst our country has to offer. I think if you could force the public to watch these hearings, the Rats would get less than 10 percent of the vote.

After he gets sworn in, JUSTICE ALITO should walk over and challenge the Swimmer to a duel!

Outside the committee room, Kennedy was scathing... "He can remember all 67 dissents ... in great details," he said of Alito and his judicial record. "But he can't remember anything about this organization."

Someone should've asked Ted what he remembers about July 19, 1969.

Do the RATS (my greatest apologies for demeaning all rodents) have any idea or do they care how they embarrassed the country today?

Shame on Durbin, shame on Kennedy, shame on every senator who calls himself Catholic. While I am shaming, shame on the lot of them who are pro murdering babies and call themselves Christian, no matter what denomination they are. While I am shaming, shame on the Jewish senators who are for abortion, if there are any.

Where does Lieberman stand on the issue?

What a blessing these hearings are to the people of America- a chance to see the people who want to run their lives as they really are: petty, venomous, insane monsters.

I look at that man's face and think, could he be the one to save a lot of unborn kids from death?

I hope so.

It is long past time that Durbin, Kennedy and all the other Catholics in name only were excommunicated for elevating abortion to a sacrement and worshipping at the altar of Roe v Wade. Long past.

This is from Jill Stanek:
When Durbin was running for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, he boasted to a prospective pro-life voter that he served for five years as master of ceremonies at the annual Roe v. Wade observance at the state capitol, served as master of ceremonies at Springfield Right-to-Life's annual banquet, opposed abortion-on-demand and didn't even believe the right to abortion was constitutional.

Durbin won. In 1983 Durbin wrote a constituent that he hoped for Roe v. Wade's overturn so "states would be allowed to regulate ... abortion."

In 1983, Durbin responded in a pro-life questionnaire that he opposed all abortions except to save the life of the mother.

Evidently his decision to support the murder of innocent babies is evidence of Dick's "open mind" and commitment to the "Little Guy."

The snarling animals on the Left are about to get a big lesson in political diplomacy.

Alito will be confirmed, and after that? Their little Stalinist cultural program will come to a rather welcome end.

Eat it, liberals. But even better than that: Get used to eating it.

Alito is making the Democrats look foolish. They'll vote against him less because he's a conservative than due to his injuring their pride. I mean with minds like Chuckie Schumer and Ted Kennedy - the Democrats should have taken Alito apart already. And they're distressed he's not in Robert Bork's league.

From what I understand, the "extremist" position of this club was working against reverse discrimination at Columbia! Since we have states that have voted to outlaw reverse discrimination, and courts that have booted the Liberal vote buying scheme, why is this so "extremist"? I think racial discrimination is extremist!
