I find it, as grave somber Senate Democrats like to say, "troubling." Indeed, I find it not just "troubling" but sad that a party once so good at "the politics of personal destruction" has got so bad at it. The last time they had a Supreme Court nominee to hang upside down in the Democrat bondage dungeon was the John Roberts hearings. And at least, when hatchet man Chuck Schumer professed himself "troubled" by the "fullness" of John Roberts' "heart," the crack oppo-research guys had uncovered an "inappropriate" use of the word "amigo" by Roberts back in the early '80s.
But, with Sam Alito the worst they come could up with was that he might have been around some other guy who might have used the word "amigo." Not back in the early '80s, but in the early '70s.

But they would have eaten Harriet Miers alive.
I agree we should alway take these people seriously
Just another example of Kennedy's cynical deception of the entire Committee in order to showcase his false but energetic temper tantrum.
As further demonstrated by the Democrat senators behavior when the seven judges testified as witnesses. All had worked closely with Alito and, remember, three of them were Democrats. If the Democrats were really interested in how Alito thought, whether he had an "agenda" and what his "judicial temperament" was, these were the people who could tell them.
Leahy, Kennedy, Biden, Durbin, et al could not find the time to be in their seats for this testimony, however. They took the afternoon off.
Accordingly, it appears that, if they couldn't grill Alito and score political points off his person, they weren't interested in the proceedings.
Such losers.
Funny thing is, they were the final nail in her being nominated when they returned her paperwork as a do-over.
They are desperate. It's comical to watch as it plays out.
ROFLMAO!!! Thanks for the great laugh. I maintain that be best way to beat them is to ridcule them. The senate Dims sure give us plenty of material to do it with, too.
I had a peacenik leftie demand on a forum that I come down to his neighborhood so he could kick my ass.
Anyone who has ever met me would realize that such a demand might be hazardous to one's health.
As if I would bother with him - I haven't been in a fight since ninth grade. I'm a peaceful sort because my size allows me to be that way.
But my favorite is when I see the lefties contemplate civil war - in other words, the gun-control types want to take on the gun nuts.
Which shows yet again that the left lives in abject denial of reality.
You inspred my new tagline...
What you post here is everybody-in-the-world-who-has-an-internet-connection's business.
I debated whether to make my bumper sticker either:
Democrats and Aljazeera: Perfect Together (a la NJ's slogan)
or
Democrats and Aljazeera: Working Together (which they really are.... AGAINST the security of America)
Don't think I have much to add, except to say "Hear, hear!" to Steyn's last paragraph. Through the 'net, we are exercising the populism that the Left dreads
They can only win with a stacked deck.
You're right. No matter how entertaining they can be, and how much we laugh, they are still extremely dangerous.
