Who they were nominated for and who they actually replaced got switched when Rhenquist died. We're all correct. :-)

Alito is going to be able to serve for 30+ years probably; if they think this delay in order to get him to avoid one abortion case is going to make a difference in the history of our country as it relates to Roe v Wade, they're nuts.

they are trying to push it back as far as they can to keep O'Conner on the court for those abortion cases.

Yep. They have no regard for O'Connor or her ailing husband, and the longer she's on the bench, the longer she is kept away from her husband who has Alzheimers.

Leahy complaining about lack of family time. This is the same Leahy who took trips to VT on the breaks during the Ashcroft hearing.

His point is that they can't possibly start on Tuesday because Monday is a holiday and they want to turn a 3 day weekend into 5.

How long does the MLK holiday last? Why can't they meet on Tuesday as Spector suggested.

I was just thinking that there are some things I hear/see that make me understand how somebody could think about murder.
