"Leahy and Nolan still talking about President Bush"

IMHO Arlen should shut that line of talk down and say that these hearings are NOT about President Bush and they're having hearings on FISA and NSA in the next few weeks and it will be addressed at that time.

When the Democrats on the committee walked in the door.

Laurence Tribe is rambling on incoherently right as we write.

Honest to gosh, I began to wonder if he had had a stroke or something. That was just awful.

Senator Hatch asking "what is the difference between settled law and settled precedent?" Prof. Fried "unable to say" LOL

[saveliberty]

I think that Harvard should reconsider if they really have a legal mind here. LOL!

has DiFi's hair changed from yesterday?

[Cboldt]

hamdi was a victory for terrorists, or Americans?

It's hard to characterize on those terms. Hamdi's detention was upheld, but conditioned.

[jennyjenny]

My goodness, have you ever heard a bigger blowhard in your life?

He's definitely giving Biden a run for his money, but I've got to go with Biden being the bigger blowhard.

[Loyal Buckeye]

What a waste of time. Few even care what these people have to say.

[Founding Father]

Between Tribe and Prof. Alan Dippedinshit it's no wonder Harvard law grads are loonies.

[Bahbah]

has DiFi's hair changed from yesterday?

LOL. Now that you mention it, I don't think it has.

OMG....is Kennedy actually sober?!

Like his Congressional namesake, Filibuster attempts to influence the forum simply by holding the floor. His monotonous hectoring and prodigious output of verbiage rapidly clears the field of other Warriors.

Sounds like Professor Tribe, no?

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Honest to gosh, I began to wonder if he had had a stroke or something. That was just awful."

Now if Kennedy and Tribe have an exchange here, we will really have an incomprehensible mess!

[auboy]

Their real cream does not object to Judge Alito. Their real cream is not in the building.

[ilovew]

I think Kennedy is worse.
