Outside witnesses may be called to testify this afternoon, as well as the American Bar Association, to discuss its recommendations.

Yes, I am looking forward to the elections as well, the libs have certainly given a lot of statements that the Rep. opponents can use in their campaigning to their advantage!
the aba WAS chuck's gold standard
Exactly. He was just putting on some kind of act. He had no intention of ever voting for him.
'The more he talks the more people hate him'
You're absolutely right. So rock on, UpChuck. :-)
Don't you love how Schumer proceeded to "lecture" Alito about his answers...and his disappointment, and how troubled Alito has made him...
BLECH...no, that is a DOUBLE BLECH!
I don't think it was just Specter defending the Chair. Kennedy implied Specter was lying about receiving the communication. After Arlen pointed out that there was a difference between sending and receiving, he then said he would review the matter. Kennedy then threatened to demand votes and tie up the Committee -- which then caused an already irate Arlen to smack him down HARD.
Loved how he pounded the gavel and then turned his back on Kennedy. Priceless.
In other words, next week.
I swear Alito was rolling his eyes..he looked disgusted with Shoeturd.
In our dreams....
"I remain troubled..."
*hick!*... vision blurring now
Nancy needs to shut up
Well, that's true. They've shown repeatedly that they are the bigoted, racist, sexist, discrimatory ones loud and clear.
LOL!!!! Took me a while, but I get it now.
Libs love a Justice who's ready for approval by Dick, Chuck and Teddy.
Pat, Joe and Dianne like to preheat the pan, to fry nominees deemed "right-heady."
I found that phrase odd also...
Kinda makes me think that anyone that has "FATE" deal them a bad hand, SHOULD be entitled to FED. help...
Stoop lower and call names? No doubt! And they'll delay as the rules permit, if they think it gets them $$ or political points. The GOP seems more than willing to beat up on the DEMs over Alito, so if they want to extend the beatings, by all means, go for it ;)
As my track record shows, my gut feel is emminently UNreliable, so a betting person could reasonably take my gut feel of "no delay" and bet the other way. I can't say it's a bad strategy.
I think Hastert needs to take that list of recipients of Abramoff money make a chart and proceed to the floor!
You've hit on the very reason I'm against term limits. It gives more power to the staff and behind-the-scenes people who we often don't know and don't elect. I'd rather have the power remain in the hands of the people we can re-elect or not every few years.
