I can tell by just looking and listening to Alito that he would be a great Supreme Court Justice for this country ..and that is what the Dem's want to keep out of the Supreme Court..

Biden should wear a CAP today that says "I'm with Stupid" (Down-Arrow).

Leahy, with his camera, taking pictures of a smiling Alito family ... a kinda "before" shot. :-/

2 C-Span callers this morning: black woman said she could tell that Judge Alito is a racist by looking at his face. Another said there was a conspiracy "plan"...the cameras kept showing "that woman" sitting behind the Judge. Still another said the judge was just saying the right things until he gets the job, and she would do the same thing.

I despair at ever changing such twisted minds.

Anyone have tips on ridding us of it while we are waiting?

If you can get the little critter in the TV room while Biden is talking it may very well get bored to death.

Excerpt:
On the first round of Q&A, Sen. Chuck Schumer spoke 3,471 words in questioning Alito — and left Alito time for just 1,166 to reply, the Republican National Committee pointedly noted.

Kennedy spoke 3,282 words and gave Alito time to reply with just 1,557.

And Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) hit the record with 3,739 words, while giving Alito time for just 1,021, the RNC said.

Specter relates the results of Kennedy's fishing expedition in Rusher's papers. Nothing there. Hahahahahaha.

[OXENinFLA]

Specter going over the Rusher paper.

Alito not mentioned anywhere that I've heard so far....

[MinuteGal]

I hope we can now concentrate on the 'rats on the screen rather than running along the woodwork.

It's now 9 AM. Let the games begin!

Is fat teddy present and ready to apologize??

[MadIvan]

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. ;)

Ha! Dontcha love that? They stayed up until 2 AM and found NOTHING!

Actually, I'm getting close to moving.
The woman next door is a naturalist. She must have six feeders in her yard. The Squirrels are like a herd in my yard. Last year we had such a flea problem (our cats don't go outside), that we spent about 3000.00 on flea control. Bombed the house, spread Borax everywhere, Flea Dips, spreading insecticide on the lawn, you name it. My older daughter is a bug magnet and her ankles are scared from flea bites.
We finally got the fleas under control (by pulling up all the wall to wall carpet) and now comes mice.
Some of it is the warm winter. According to the Internet, the buggers are still breeding out there because it hasn't dropped below freezing for too long.
Snakes are looking pretty good.

Leahy just slapped by Specter......

I would suggest you get a cat . BUT we have 3 cats and last year we had to buy a mousetrap to put behind the refrigerator. Don't have a clue as to how it got in the house. The cats just watched it like it was live tv or something. The trap did the trick within 30 minutes after we set it.
