The Senate meets at noon today, again in Executive Session, for the 3rd day of debate on the nomination of Samuel Alito to SCOTUS. Not sure, what, if anything, will happen today..Will there be a filabuster?..will anyone show up..might be work while checking out the beginning of the session, to get the lay of the land....
YIKES..Carter, Moyer????
She was doin' some Texan jokin', right?
yup , tinFOIL Jill , I was amazed he didn't cut he off.
... after she said ,"at least I'm not a drug addict!!"
I head on AirAmerika that a book is coming out that has the libs and dems REALLY excited...
It is a book about how Bush stole the 2004 election!!! LOL
Stevens is up now ... wonder if he'll rip the Dems again
But when a minority of Senate democrats try to take power from the executive branch and dictate a Supreme Court philosophical litmus test.......that's not a CRISIS, is it?
yes I remember
It wouldn't surprise me. Salazar, of course, campaigned on a pledge not to obstruct President Bush's judicial nominees. That had as much meaning as Clinton saying he didn't inhale.
Leahy sure tried to work up a big "case of the mads"...didn't he....LOL
Have I missed anything? I've been busy all morning and haven't seen any of the morning debate.
BTTT
BTTT

A reversal of Roe would be de-stabilizing to our country? Good grief!!
U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton says being in the minority in Washington, Democrats have few options when they disagree with an issue or an appointment forwarded by republicans...
The hubris of that statement is just stunning; what is she saying, that despite being in the right in every thought and deed, for this period of time, the mean old Republicans and their horrible agenda have the votes and are preventing the Democrats from doing the things the American public wants them to do?
Does she not realize that somebody is ALWAYS in the minority, it's that just now it's HER side? Simply amazing.
I have a feeling she thought it was just FINE when the GOP was in the minority (if she can remember back that far......LOL).
And if the situation was reversed, she's be telling the GOP if they want to make a difference, they should win more seats!
Does being in the minority for the foreseeable future, i.e., the rest of her life, make her say ridiculous stuff like that?
Stevens is going to go NO on Alito solely because of ABORTION.
WHOA....Stevens is PRO abortion???
I didn't know that...
No, I don't think so. He's discussing stare decisis.
Exactly and nowhere more so than in applying for a government job, doctoring resume to include all the keywords in the ad.
And he went on to make the connection of the fallacy of following foreign law, as some of our jurists are wont to do. It was excellent.
