Does C-SPAN offer windows media links to live video streaming? I don't have cspan on my cable and would like to watch but am leary of downloading real video/audio.

Thanks for the link to the transcript of the judiciary committee.
I found what I was looking for, a statement by Cornyn, which was made immediately after Schumer expressed his discomfort with Alito's "opaqueness".
Cornyn:
The question I think that all of us are confronted with when we hear such contrasting views of a nominee is: Who should we believe? Of course, those of us on the committee who are lawyers* know that the law is pretty clear about how you approach those issues. You look to people who have personal knowledge over those who are merely repeating what they've heard or speculating. You look to the motive of the witness or the person to see if they have some motive for not telling the truth. And, ultimately, you have to make a credibility judgment.
*Schumer never practiced law. I'll bet his ego was bruised a bit. I noticed Schumer had his arms protectively crossed in front of him, when he was giving a press conference with the other Dems, right after the vote.

As one of the Rep. Judiciary Committee members said yesterday (paraphrased)- Do you think she could have answered all the constitutional questions asked by the committee? What constitutional questions? All I've heard are accusations and petty questions that have no bearing on this hearing.
I don't believe her lack of a "conservative" position torpedoed her. No, it was her lack of qualifications.
They have already proven that qualifications don't mean anything to the jackass party.

I noticed Schumer had his arms protectively crossed in front of himAin't body language wonderful....crossed arms is an indication of a person totally closed up and will NOT be moved on the decision he had already obviously made. It's also not one bit healthy...
