Sessions is great.

I love the methodical way he's dismantling the specious accusations of his clueless Democratic colleagues on the committee.

Chuck Grassley-on the other hand-would be a good substitute for Sominex.

Getting to the end of the inquisition. Durbin wants 10 minutes, maybe a little more.

He's a little subdued. Raises the same issue that Feingold did about 3rd Circuit judges testifying; as well as apparant inconsistencies between opinions prepared by Alito.

```as well as apparant inconsistencies between opinions prepared by Alito.

```

when he has disagreed with his circuit, hasn't the USSC agreed with him more times than not?

Racist?

1- Senator Robert Byrd
2- Pillorying Daniel Patrick Moynihan as a racist when he found that welfare programs resulted in higher instances of unwed inner city mothers in order to establish and expand a permanent underclass
3-Liberal (sorry, "Middle of the Road") universities and colleges, how many are not run by white men or white women?
4-After all these years, still no black Dem House Minority Leader (and the number two job had been given to a hispanic, how's that for appreciation for 40+ years of servitude?)
5-Attacks on black conservatives as Uncle Toms. When in fact the black conservative is taking abuse for standing up for the right to make his or her own decisions. In practice, they are only supposed to be free to do as the Dems tell them to
6-Kwesi Mfume and his characterization of Powell and Rice as puppets, when their decision making authority is vastly greater than what was offered by the first "black" President, who happened to be white. Funny how that works out.
7- The nomination of Miguel Estrada - Terry McAuliffe accusing him saying that he was only repeating what his white masters had told him. Clearly we now have insight into the inner workings of the DNC. Plus the despicable pillorying of Miguel Estrada.
8- The racist caricature of Janice Rogers Brown

What I see is a bunch of intellectually and physically lazy glass bowled bigots who only pay lip service to ending racism and yet refuse to look in the mirror as to who really is standing in the way of a person leveraging opportunity to be independent?

I am an opponent of affirmative action, but I can't see how these racist pigs even measure up to their own standards.

I remember a plane ride with Teddy and his crew and the press on board during his limp presidential campaign. The senator was bombed and acting like a fool. Even the press was aghast (although they were probably as loaded as he was).

They reported it.

Scalia - Thomas - Alito - Roberts. All we need now is for one of the liberal Justices to leave the Court and get replaced by Senator Jeff Sessions. Then we'd have Scalia - Thomas - Alito - Roberts - Sessions, who would make the 'Rats see STARS after they bash them over the head with their rulings.

I really believe that the Dems have done themselves considerable harm in these hearings. Alito is a good and decent man, and the Dems are very transparent.

Sorry for the rant, clearly it's not directed at anyone here.

I guess Durbin would be for suicide bombers keeping their wares then.

Do you notice how incensed they seem to be about the fact that almost all of his colleagues-on a generally liberal court-are willing to testify on his behalf?

Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that their own witnesses-even excluding that eco-freak who's related to Isaac Bashevis Singer, and has been told to stand down-are so pathetic by comparison?

There are already preconceived votes and you are correct. This has been a waste of time and money. It face time the Senators want and nothing else. I can hardly wait for November. This will fly in the face(s) of the dems


I would agree....EXCEPT the public has such a short term memory, that no one will remember what jackasses the DEMS looked like in January!
