...assuring his eventual confirmation and making a rightward tilt of the court likely.

Let's rephrase that, shall we?

...assuring his eventual confirmation and making a tilt away from the radical leftist agenda of the court likely.

Ahh...better.

The most disgusting and laughable comments made yesterday were from Sen Feinstein.

She had the audacity to suggest that things are different for Judge Alito and there should be a double standard for Liberals. You see, the country is "polarized" now under President Bush. When Clinton nominated Judge Ginsberg and Breyer, the country was not politically polarized, because the Democrats are such wonderful people.

But now! The nation is polarized, and even though ultra-Liberals like Ruth Bader Ginsberg were supported by the Senate 96-3 with Republicans being nonpartisan, the Democrats cannot respond in kind because the nation as changed since then.

I am not making this up.

DiFi, explaining why she wants to be like Dolly Parton...

[demlosers]

Sen. Dianne Feinstein , D-Calif., said things are different from when the Senate considered Breyer and Ginsburg, who were confirmed 87-9 and 96-3 respectively. "There was not the polarization within America that is there today, and not the defined move to take this court in a singular direction," she said.

Hello Senator Dingbat. A "Borking" took place before Breyer and Ginsberg Senate confirmations, so what was that?

[Non-Sequitur]

I think that Alito will pick up between 6 and 8 Democrat votes and won't lose a Republican Senator.

[mewzilla]

Hillie's trying to get as many Dems as she can to vote against Alito to provide her with some political cover. They think that the more Dems that vote against Alito, the less looney left she looks. Nice try. She's just going to drag some of those red state Dems down along with her if they're gutless enough to give in to her.

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

Feinstein is the Democrats female Ted Kennedy

[McGavin999]

You know what? It's not going to matter one bit what the vote is. Alito is going to be on the court and in a few years nobody will remember what the confirmation vote was.

What the democrats HAVE succeeded in doing is politicizing the SCOTUS picks and from now on you can expect this sort of thing to go on. It's bad for the country and THAT will be remembered.

[syriacus]

Your report on Senator Whinestein is accurate. She is now, officially, a living anachronism.

[syriacus]

DiFi, explaining why she wants to be like Dolly Parton...

LOL

[BamaAndy]

Oh yes there was Fienstien--ginsberg came in the clinton clown years where all he did was divide.

[Bush should have picked a woman, said Reid]

Am I the only one in America who has noticed that every time quota systems are used in government, that the system that uses them eventually is overrun and controlled by the quota people who then demand that only quota people should control government.
No wonder government is so wasteful and corrupt, our public school systems hostile to boys and the local school boards unable to educate children while demanding more and more and more pay.

[goldstategop]

Right. Clinton's nominees weren't liberals. Its an issue only when conservatives are nominated to the High Court by Republican Presidents, eh DiFi? Let me remind the Democrats elections have consequences. The nomination of Samuel Alito is one of them.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

[mewzilla]

Not liberals. Snort. Sure, everyone thinks that legalizing prostitution and lowering the age of consent to 12 are your average American values. Yup, the heart and soul of America there, all right.

Good gad.

I hope you're right, yet I think someone is being less than honest.

This is a ch__ch. What's missing?

[grobdriver]

Quack,quack,quack,quack,quack,quack,quack,quack...
All I want to know is will Frist push the vote through in a timely manner.

[jackieaxe]

Looking at your posted picture, all I can think of is that Bob Shiffer is as bad or worst than Dan Rather. For him, there is no such thing as a hard question for Democrats he interviews, in fact most of his questions to them are layups or setups. The ultra-liberal press rolls on!

[R.W.Ratikal]

The danger is that there are just enough Republicans who usually vote with the socialists to deny confirmation to Alito. The usual suspects, Chaffee, Snow, Specter and other RINOs will probably vote with the dems.

This is a do or die struggle for the Demosocialists. They must keep the Leftist tilt on the High Court. They will call in all their chits on this one.

[Condor51]

If Democrats want to make judges a campaign issue, "we welcome that debate on our side. We'll clean your clock," said Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Ohhhhhhh Lindsey (swoon)!!
When you talk like that you sound oh so ... so ... butch.
