Because they have been looking for a way to get rid of Bush since 2000....and they see this as a way to get the American people to start seeing things their way...

Question: IF the NYTimes article re: NSA wiretapping had NOT come out....what would they be talking about???

Tribe's statement marks "an important moment" in legal scholarship, Yale's Balkin says, because of Tribe's status as the leading symbol of liberal constitutional interpretation

And why are they being asked to guess what Alito would do on the court?

Tribe actually stated that if there is a Justice Alito, that liberties will be taken away.

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.

LOL! Good one!

You know, I've always wondered how Kennedy (who has no honor) has the nerve to question anyone else's honor and fitness for anything. Here's a man (Kennedy) who was too cowardly to save a woman from drowning because of his act of stupidity and he has the b@lls to question someone else's integrity.

*rolls eyes* Of course they will. Because, as we all know, Republicans are racist, sexist, bigot, homophobes.

Tribe would be on any 'rat President's short list for SCOTUS.

"IF the NYTimes article re: NSA wiretapping had NOT come out....what would they be talking about???"

We would still be talking about the wrong war for the wrong reasons at the wrong time.

I noticed that exchange yesterday, and in my mind (I'm playing the part of Alito) the answer went ..

SCHUMER: Let's just assume that it was found that the president's right to wiretap people, the way we're discussing it now in terms of the recent NSA revelations, was found constitutional. Would there be a different standard if, say, the president -- does that necessarily allow the president to then go ahead and go into people's homes here in America, American citizens, without a warrant?

Does the one necessarily lead to the other?

ALITO: No. Authority to wiretap without a warrant does not necessarily lead to physical entry onto private property without a warrant.

Alito's answer was better, because it explained a broader range of possible circumstances.

has DiFi's hair changed from yesterday?

If it has, she obviously found some industrial strength solvent of some kind.
