Right!

For those who want to know what the 'unitary executive' concept is, read the damn Article 2 of the Constitution!

When did Kate Michelman become a Constitutional scholar?

Have I missed something?

Nolan admits that there aren't enough facts re NSA/FISA bruhaha to justifay reaching a conclusion - maybe, if she knew the facts, she says, she'd find the surveillance to "be okay."

Duh.

Oh I believe it's their cream of the crop. But just how many turnips can one be proud of? It may be a bumper crop, but it's freakin' turnips.

Leahy is confused. Nobody is talking about a "unitary form of government," are they?

wait a second, Tribe talked with Leahy?? I have serious ethical issues with Leahy preparing him for testimony. I'm perplexed, troubled, shocked and flumoxed.

Do the senators have time limits for their questioning of these panelists?

Specter is laughing his arse off with this...

Specter asks Prof. Tribe if he NOT testifying against Alito?..

Tribe:"I'm not testifying for or against Judge Alito. I'm explaining why I am very troubled by his views. Obviously it follows from that ..that I'd be hard pressed to recommend his confirmation."..

WTH? Not testifying against Alito?...Right..wink, wink..

You hit the nail on the head...

These dems are NOT even thinking about Alito right now...they are "testing the waters" for possible charges to be brought against the Bush Admin....and while they have the audience and the "right" lawyers in front of them, by gosh...they are gonna "try" George W. Bush!!!

Yeah - but what Tribe didn't expect was that his framing of testimony, the very words, "I'm not here to testify against the confirmation of Alito," would be the subject for discussion. Hoist on his own petard. Lesson is, if you are against, say so, and then defend your conclusion.

I was wondering that too. Why are they being asked their opinions about the WOT? And why are they being asked to guess what Alito would do on the court?

Sure sounds like it

These questions and answers have NOTHING to do with Alito

It's a good thing nobody added "troubled" to that list of words for your game.
