They're back

You are correct. However, the USSC gets involved because Congress jumps on these issues and lets the USSC determine if they can do so constitutionally later. Has the USSC ever returned a law to Congress and said, You cannot do that! ?

LOL!

Aren't the democrats worried that this next witness might have a case before him at some point and therefore not be able to ask her questions?

[maggief]

"Fab Four" is Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Roberts -- spells "STAR".

Next up Janice Rogers Brown ... and it spells "STARR"

LOL

Pro-Alito.

At all. I simply want SC Judges that do not add or take away from the Constitution. If we are blessed enough to get that, we will have achieved our goals.

The 10th Amendment has taken a beating for the last 3 decades. I sometimes get very upset at the way FReepers jump for joy when an activist judge "activates" in a direction that is preferable to "our side" and scream when it goes "the other way."

Legislating from the bench is bad -- period. That it happens to coincide with some agenda should be irrelevant.

lol

Hildemort hasn't recovered. She is holding back the Kavanaugh nomination because Kavanaugh assisted Ken Starr.

[saveliberty]

That would require coherent thought.

He is a white guy.

And a Catholic. Hmmmmmm. Let's seee . . .

a HAH! Suddenly, on the horizon, I detect a priest, wait, it's coming to me . . .yes, yesssssss! This priest, see, he was Alito's priest 20 years ago . . . and . . . and - got it! A child rapist! Alito and this priest were good buddies - and the priest told him all about his pedastry and Alito kept mum! Call Michael Moore! Lights! Cameras! Smeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaar!

Who need Anita when you've got those rowdy Catholics?

Sorry. I saved the file locally as "scary, isn't she"

i have a question that kennedy can ask alito:

WHO MURDERED MARY JO KOPECKNE?

[samadams2000]

Or becomes

TASRR.....Taser...The tool to tame the left.

[msnimje]

Thats just too tempting

Do it with a made up email address.

I said I wanted Teddy to ask Sam Alito if the Judge thinks women who leave their dates to die in a partially submerged Oldsmobile should be questioning the ethics of a man with a sterling ethical history.

[Bahbah]

It appears we've ended up with another O'Connor or Kennedy....

Nope, she does not have an intellect that even approaches that of this man. He will respect and be guided by the Constitution. Unless we are saying that what we want are Justices that will rule OUR WAY (not a truly conservative position), this man is a gem.

See my post 2737

Exactly. Obviously, as a 22-year-old, I have no legal experience either nor do I intend to go into any legal profession. It seems to me that, although there is a bit of leeway, some things are fairly obvious. And it's obvious even to my father, who is pro-choice, that abortion is not supported by the constitution. And I believe it will be overturned. I am only interested in whether he's a constitutionalist, as Scalia put it. Is it in the constitution or in the law? That's the issue.
