"Someone, that who has been watching all day...am I dreaming about a Kelo reference?"

No. Bill Nelson (D-FL) said one of the reasons he was voting against Alito was because he wouldn't state definitively one way or another his views on Kelo vs. New London.

Actually, not heated enough IMHO!!

I wish Leaky would have let Hatch have time to debate...but, unfortunately...everyone had made up their minds in 2000....

so, no suspense...and when they are going at an hour for dem, and then an hour for the GOP...there is not direct back and forth...

President Bush supported Specter, too... I wasn't going to vote against him because of it, however.

Being born prior to 1950 I'm selfishly glad that Social Security may not go away for those of us who didn't always have 501K's available (thanks to Dims being in office a lot of those years)....

I think it should definitely be changed, but it does need to take into consideration that if we had been able to invest the money we paid out year after year none of us pre-50's babies would give a whit about SS. We didn't have that option -- and is why I totally support George Bush in his plan to allow people to invest their SS dollars... may have to make it manditory or a lot of young will spend it rather than invest it...

So, yes, SS is socialist and that is the way the socialist Dims set it up and that is how they want to keep it and one more reason not to vote for anyone with a "D" ever, ever, ever...

Casey is pro-life, but when it comes to judicial nominations, he'll likely vote with the rest of the Rats. He'll claim he's voting "No" because of concern over other issues.

Didn't they say the same thing in '04 when Kerry lost? and they were all going to move to Canada? Trouble is: Canada didn't want them ~LOL~

My father stopped over a bit ago, so I had to tear away from the computer for a while and we were talking about the Senate debate and we both agreed this is a complete waste of everyone's time when we all know how everyone intends to vote.

The Reed that is speaking had some kind of presser today about that report that Rummy was talking about..

The one that says that the military is tired, and under stress, and blah, blah, blah...

He said he had just come back from Iraq and Afghanistan and he was under the same impression....so, once again, the newspapers provide the dems some talking points.

I'd send this REED guy $20 bucks if he'd shut up. This guy is mind numbing.

We're on the same page FRiend. I am hoping it will be Allen instead with Rice as the VP.

Good combo

Unfortunate, but true. It unnerves me when someone says they will vote green or not at all.. if they want an example of greenies they should have seen the reports on the city council in Arcata, CA with a majority of greenies they are ready to impeach the whole bunch.

Does the GOP need to clean house? You betcha, but putting in another Kerry or Kennedy is not the answer.

Since we're all ignoring Reed anyway:

Bush: NSA Won’t Listen In On Senate Alito Debate
scrappleface.com ^ | 2006-01-24 | Scott Ott


Posted on 01/25/2006 5:11:05 PM EST by NYTexan


President George Bush today promised Senate Democrats that the National Security Agency (NSA) would not secretly listen in to their floor speeches during debate over the Supreme Court confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito, even though Democrats have promised to make the legality of NSA wiretaps a major issue during the debates.

“We don’t want to impinge upon the Democrat’s civil rights,” said President Bush, “So I’ve received assurances from the NSA and most other government agencies that no one will listen in on their speeches.”

The president said that Democrat Senators could “speak their minds without fear that anyone will ever hear a word they say.”

We'll he ever shut up? Who is keeping the time? Dr. Coburn may have passed out up there in the big chair.
