C-span

[ken5050]

Good morning once again, all you fellow political junkies. Put on a fresh pot of coffee, put the sticky buns in the oven, put a fresh battery in the remote control, and join us for the latest episode of the world's greatest daytime soap opera, "As the Democrats Bloviate." Yup, once again, it's that time...

Coal mines??

re: A disable man's case-
Inept lawyers mean Judge Alito should have overlooked the law and gone on with the case??

Oh, help, he's quoting Solomon now. Alito is the Tin Man now, he has no heart.

[puroresu]

If brains were gasoline, Durbin couldn't propel a flea's motorcycle around a raindrop.

[Not A Snowbird]

Durbin's TROUBLED!

DRINK!

[Mo1]

Bad attorney's should be given a pass in court??

Heck why bother hiring an attorney

Durbin is now quoting the Bible??

[pillut48]

*Fwappity* *fwap* *fwap*

Now settle down.
;-)

[Founding Father]

Durbin quoting the Bible--here comes the lightning and earthquakes.

[syriacus]

Durbin talking about his questioning Alito about liking Springsteen. Durbin says he asked the question because he knew those two were from NJ.

Come off it, Dick. I'd bet one or two of your staff members already read/heard the news accounts in which Alito's wife mentioned he liked Springsteen.

Alito is a Springsteen fan, USA today, January 9th.

[Bean Counter]

That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!

Durbin comparing Alito to Bruce Springsteen. Time for Rush...

[kjam22]

Durbin quoting the bible..... pointing out that Alito is not as wise as Solomon. Okay.... who is??

[Not A Snowbird]

My question is rhetorical and sarcastic. I don't think Teddy was successful in persuading anyone.

You and I know that... but you can bet the DUmmies are hanging on every word.

Oh, brother, is Durbin about to cry?

[confederacy of dunces]

AAAAAAAHHHHH!!

That should've had a warning.

Now I need a shower.

[Once-Ler]

No but Kennedy said Gestapo twice. If it wasn't so early we could play the Alito Nazi allusion drinking game.

[Mo1]

Durbin is sorry that Alito doesn't live up to O'Connor's standards

[A Citizen Reporter]

Durbin is calling on the President to send up a conservative like Sandra Day O'Connor for the court.

Oh Dickie, you are so funny. What we need is a pro-life Senator like you from Illinois, don't we you lying sack of .......!

[kjam22]

Here comes Cornyn.....

[MNJohnnie]

Thanks for posting all these Live threads on the Alito Hearings. Got to be some of the most popular threads in Freeper Land. Really look forward to reading these. Hopefully President Bush will get another nominee so we can do this all again with the REAL Swing vote on the Court. Will that not be fun?

[Howlin]

I hope you're right.

All I know is that if I heard the words "Sandra Day O'Conner," "abortion," or "right to privacy" again, I may go postal.

[pillut48]

I love John Cornyn!!

"When Judge Alito is confirmed, and he WILL be confirmed to the Supreme Court..."

WTG, to the distinguished honorable senator from my home state!! :-)

Re; Springsteen BS
I say all future democrat nominees (perish the thought) be asked are they a fan of Michael Moore. If so, automatic disqualification.

[The_Victor]

pointing out that Alito is not as wise as Solomon. Okay.... who is??

Which is why Alito is only up for Supreme Court justice, not king.
