LIVE THREAD: Senate Democrats fake filibuster of Samuel Alito - C-span 2 10:00am EST
C-span

Posted on 01/30/2006 5:57:36 AM PST by ken5050

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

Specter keeps repeating that Alito DID say it was a living document.

I never heard that. I also think Specter is putting way too much reliance on Alito saying that the reasoning in congress was as good as that of the Supreme Court. Alito is not going to defer to the reasoning of congress if the result is an unconstitutional law.

Could but that would still take 20 minutes. DC is gridlock around the Mall.
