thx, friend. will read later
Also the other senator from Ark..Blanche Lincoln..
Maybe he wants to reform it from within. He did serve in the military
He looks troubled.
The USSC disagreed with them regarding Gore v. Bush but they've been harping on that for 5 years now.
What I thought was interesting...was, after the other panelist, Mr. Gray...gave a long speech about racial segregation...and how he was against Alito...
when he had conversations with both Specter and Sessions...much of what they talked about was how many black people are now in political positions...and how far 'they" have come....
hmmmmmmmmmmm....so, I guess things aren't as bad as he and others today have said then huh???
The wecowd is vewy, vewy cleaw.
Twoubling.
Oh geeze, you typed it and bam, he was troubled.

I don't suppose any "african american" SHOULD lose in court? Ever? To qoute DiFi....
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
12:38 The final witness of the panel and the hearings: Theodore Shaw, NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund.
The Fund doesn't relish opposing a nominee to the federal courts and usually doesn't take a position on nominees.
He's not here to attack Alito personally or to challenge his intelligence or integrity. He recognizes that people of good will can differ on the question of Alito's nomination.
He notes that it is not unusual for clerks and colleagues to support a nominee. But collegiality is not what this is about.
The Fund, instead, opposes him on the basis of his record of judicial decisions (as detailed in a report that has been entered into the record). His record has been one of making it more difficult for civil rights victims to prevail in federal court.
Alito has voted in favor of an African American civil rights plaintiff on the merits only twice in his judicial career.
For example, Alito voted to preclude a jury from considering whether a defendant engaged in intentional discrimination when the defendant's alleged reason for its actions was pretextual (he require the plaintiff to do more than show that the reason is a pretext in order to survive summary judgment).
Fund isn't saying his is a racist. Whatever the reason for his rulings are, they are harmful to the cause of civil rights.
Alito's views on apportionment and criminal judgment are troubling, too.
This is a smear job...where Alito is NOT present to speak for himself...
totally unfair, IMHO>
fatima has gotten hold of the Rove mind control machine.

Great read for whwn this is finally over!
Didn't this guy start by saying that we don't endorse or not, any candidate??? What is he doing then??
Man I ain't gonna mess with Fatima, that was scary.
I can't watch today. The steady parade of leftist moonbats is just too much.
Democrats can't get over the fact they are the ones still holding the black communities down and back, even after 42 years of great progress in civil rights, thanks in large part to the Republican party.
It is unfair, but we will win. And we will replay this infantile display in the upcoming elections and we will win again.
