LIVE THREAD: Day ONE - Senate debate on nomination of Samuel Alito to SCOTUS: C-span 2; 9:30 am EST

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...

LMAO ... previous statement from little Dick:

http://www.powerlineblog.com/

"Judge Alito was extremely guarded in his answers. Judge Alito, a New Jersey native, wouldn't even say whether he was a Bruce Springsteen fan. I asked him about that, and his answer was, 'I am -- to some degree.' Now he may be one of the few people from New Jersey who has such cautious fealty to The Boss."

[NautiNurse]

Apparently Springsteen has experience with the crushing hand of fate.

The Dems have reached the ends of their ropes. ROFL.

[Howlin]

I love it when they talk about Alito's AGENDA, like nobody else up there has one.

[syriacus]

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

You are fortunate. I've got Hillary and Chuck.

[Howlin]

Maybe he didn't want to say Bruce sucks on national TV?

[Mo1]

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 .......!

Letter from congressional candidate Richard Durbin to voters, arguing ways in which his pro-life credentials exceeded those of his primary opponent, and pledging support for a constitutional amendment that would overturn Roe v. Wade (PDF document) -- March 14, 1982

[pillut48]

That's the saddest thing I've heard all day. I'll pray for you!

[maggief]

Or, he likes a few of his songs but Bruce's politics suck. :)

[E.C.I.]

Ding, ding, ding.

[Howlin]

Did he ask him about Bruno Hauptmann, or Jerry Lewis, or the Kinseys?

[don-o]

but I heard Reid mangle "preamble"..Mark Levin played it last night..

He mangled the word "prevalent" (pre vay lent)

[E.C.I.]

New York Times Headline 1/26/06
Cornyn says that Alito should be impeached

[Howlin]

Or, he likes a few of his songs but Bruce's politics suck. :)

Or maybe he just didn't want to say, "Senator, what the F**K does Bruce Springsteen have to do with confirmation to the United States Supreme Court?"

You know, like we would have...........LOL.

[Txsleuth]

You watch...pretty soon they will be on Rush, Hannity, Fox and FREE REPUBLIC....we are ones!!!

[AliVeritas]

ROFL!

[syriacus]

Thank you.

[kjam22]

Freudian slip.... Cornyn just called him Scalito.

[Txsleuth]

LOL...or, in Howard Dean's terms..."medical care".

[E.C.I.]

Whoops... Cornyn just let the cat out of the bag.
He started to say "Scalito"

The democrats "WORST NIGHTMARE" (evil laugh here)
