Whew

[the Deejay]

Oh my....I recall the Anita Hill testimony and I couldn't believe anyone had the balls to sit there and make those accusations...True or not!

Some things are better left unsaid.

Thomas got the USSC position anyway. Hill ended up looking like a fool.

Too bad we didn't have Internet access and FR at that time.

They can't stall on bringing the nomination tothe floor..they may insist on 100 hours of debate..but then it they do NOT agree to coming to a vote..well then..

[RetroSexual]

Yeah, but how would you feel about it at 10 AM the next day?

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, one of two new Jewish members of the House of Representatives, was chosen by the ranking Democratic member of Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, because of her outspoken stance in the tragic case of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman who last year became a symbol of Congress's overstepping into family matters.

OK..honestly..admit it..2am in a bar..you've had a few brewskis..you'd hit that..

but would she shut up long enough to enjoy it?

Specter on C-SPAN now saying that he still sees no reason for a delay.

[ilovew]

The kids are cute...I'll refrain from saying something about their mother.

[syriacus]

Sepecter talking to press: No reason to have a delay. Value in going forward with the arrangement we have made. Scheduling is hard.

[saveliberty]

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

Translation - They did not comply with our wishes, even though we number few.

[Bahbah]

I am now listening to Specter who I think is saying there will not be a delay beyond the original schedule.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Leaky is now slamming Hatch about the Clinton nominees

The record shows that all those weren't filibustered Leaky. *plonk*

[Soul Seeker]

That's why Daschle lost and we picked off se Senate races in '04? Because obstruction of judges has no political consequence?

[You Dirty Rats]

I hope the Alitos go to South Philly and get themselves a great Italian dinner with LOTS of very expensive red wine. They've earned it.

Hats off to Arlen. Since we (properly) bash him when he's wrong, he should get kudos when he's done well. Arlen presided over a devastating defeat of those 'Rats. They came out of these hearings looking like complete jackasses.

A great week to be a 'Pub ... and a BAD week to be a 'Rat.

[ken5050]

Cute family..obviously she doesn't believe in Roe..

[syriacus]

Specter: Schedule ought to be maintained.

[Jrabbit]

Specter whining....too bad, Arlen....you took a dim at his word.

[newnhdad]

The only reason for delay is to smear this guy and raise money.
That's it.

[syriacus]

Hats off to Arlen. Since we (properly) bash him when he's wrong, he should get kudos when he's done well.

I agree.

[ken5050]

Hey..if she was a conservative pubbie...we'd all be saying she's a hottie..she's cute..
