OIC....the media has been badgering him so he decided not to play coy and lay it all out. Makes sense...

We'll see. It's a bigger political football than just the players in the Judiciary Committee. DEMs seem determined to be a$$'s on this, not conceding any form of loss whatsoever. No surprise, politics isn't bean bag.

Yeah, the Committee is just one of two hurdles from which to jump over. I suspect the stalling tactic will be used more fervently on the Senate floor, where a larger number of Democrats can be more actively involved.

How many times can the delay tactic be used? Specter says it was already used when the hearings were rescheduled from January 2nd to January 9th.

That was a gentleman's agreement and understanding. Specter does not have a written waiver of the right to the week delay from the members of the Committee was being consumed by shifting the start of hearings from the 2nd to the 9th.

I wonder if they will call a week off, and then request that the NSA hearings start since they are waiting for the Alito vote.

If the Dems demand the 100 hours of debate, which would be 50 to each side..IMHO, the GOP should volutarily limit each of its senators to 15 minutes...which would use up about 10 hours, forego the balance of their time..then run a clock on the website to show how much of the Dems time is spent in a quorum..or they can let Boxer rant for all 50 hours..

Listening to post-hearing coverage on WBAI, the local affiliate of Pacifica (Communist) Radio.

They're lamenting the fact that the "people's voice" was "truncated."

Tsk-tsk.
