"Leahy should retire and become a spokesman for Folger's or something productive."

Thanks for ruining my favorite coffee for me. How am I ever going to be able to drink it any more without thinking about absorption products for adult incontinence? :-)

[EmilyGeiger]

That retort is great! I wonder if the dems understood it though. :)

Liberals believe the Constitution is outdated and should evolve based on their agenda. They believe gun rights, private property rights, etc. belong to a different era in our history and don't apply to today's Liberal ideology which reflects a international view or global approval.

They believe the U.S. should be held accountable to a world court including our soldiers they would allow to be tried by our enemies.

' Everytime I listen to Kennedy speak, I hear my mother-in-law. She is Massachusetts-born, living in Hahtford, CT. My inlaws are oldtime Dems, Chrissy Matthews fans and refuse to listen to anything against the Democrats. Every argument I bring up, she ends with finality by saying, "We are Democrats, you know." '

I am so sorry for you. My in-laws aren't political in any sense of the word, but I know they vote conservative on election day 100% of the time.

If I were Alito... I'd discuss this topic with Kennedy until his time was up. I'd keep him talking because he can't win this one.

[easonc52]

Time to say..... I'd have to read more about it Mr. Swimmer. Next question?

The trouble with Graham yesterday was that he rambled all over the place.

The guy had a ton of issues he wanted to touch on and make some kind of a point about. Some of them do involve the President, and it all got so tangled even I who am great at following the worst meanderings could not follow him. But I will guarantee one thing: Graham did not mean to state that he has decided that President Bush has tortured people and deserves the death penalty for it.

You can take that one to the bank, whatever he sounded like to you.

A Bro!

[bulldozer]

He was even lazier in that he hired a replacement to attend the test.

[Jrabbit]

Both Mr. and Mrs. Alito and the sister are wearing red today.....is that some super duper secret satanic sign?

oooops...sorry. Wrong forum. I dreampt that I was posting at DU...

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Kennedy wants someone who will help Congress impeach Bush

[fml]

Alito now schooling Teddy.

Teddy now skewing Atilo.....

[NeoCaveman]

I would rather Judge Alito was the next Chief Justice. While I have nothing against Justice Roberts, there is something special about a man who makes the liberals go quite this bonkers. ;)

I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

[msnimje]

Kennedy keeps saying "we want to know what you think" and "it is very very important" yet he will not let him speak! Alito must be thinking that Kennedy is a complete idiot for not understanding this very simple point.

[rwa265]

That was sure a sweet smile she had when Arlen was speaking. So good to see after yesterday.
