Cboldt....think of answering the question in polotical terms....he wanted that answered for an ad.
Good for Alito! In his answer to Biden, Alito did pronounce the professor's name correctly! (Subtle teachable moment for dumb student.)
Did Biden just pick his nose?
"That sob should be publicly scolded for walking out at this time!"
On c-span yesterday, an old lady from Texas (a Dem) called in and said "Kennedy needs to retire...somethings not right in his head."...lol
Joe has been worried for a long time the President would take out Irans nukes
I want to know what is Joe protecting Iran nukes?
He and his administration have done everything in their power to protect this country and the rest of the civilized world.
That we have so many enemies here at home is sickening.
They're going to say he exaggerated about his membership to get a job in the Reagan WH. Just watch.

Kennedy Quizzes Alito on ‘One Fetus, One Vote’
By Scott Ott, Editor-in-Chief, ScrappleFace.com
News Fairly Unbalanced. We Report. You Decipher.
(2006-01-11) — During an emotional barrage of questions about 20-year-old written statements by Judge Samuel Alito, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-MA, today inadvertently asked the Supreme Court nominee if he “believes in the principle of one fetus, one vote.”
Aides immediately alerted Sen. Kennedy that he had co-mingled two major Supreme Court decisions in his question, but Judge Alito chose to answer it anyway.
“Sen. Kennedy, I appreciate that question,” said the federal appeals court judge. “At no time have I ever opposed the right of a fetus — without regard to political affiliation, race, or sex — to cast a ballot once he or she has reached legal voting age. You raise issues of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, freedom of choice and civil liberties. Far be it from a judge, or anyone else, to ever interfere with those unalienable rights.”
Judge Alito, however, would not say how he would rule in such a case if he’s confirmed as a Supreme Court justice, and Sen. Kennedy declined to follow up.

The artistic renderings of The Bloated One are especially interesting to look at.
The dems are having some bad days.I don't know about you but I have noticed very few times when Samuel Aleto referred to notes when he answered the harassment questions of this bunch of bozos..
How inappropriate for Biden to be using Syria and Iran as examples. Internationally this line of questioning will have effects.
