The irony is this poster says they hugged their daughter....why didn't they take advantage of the SCOTUS ruling and have an abortion instead?

I think one of the posting rules 'round here is that direct insults to turds are not allowed.

[PilloryHillary]

Turbin is race baiting again as usual....and "It seems unlikely Alito will preserve O'Connor's moderation". "He favors the "heavy hand of government"....Blah Blah Blah...same stuff, different day.

Somebody remind Reid about all of the Democrat hours last week where NO Democrats came to the chamber to speak. I remember long periods of silence on Thursday in particular when the Senate was in a perpetual quorum call. Now we're grousing about not having enough time to speak.

These guys are in-freaking-credible.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Can they still attempt a filibuster? A real one?

No, but I'd still love to see them try. Then they can kiss the next few election cycles "BYE! BYE!".

Yesterday it was a hot wind - Kennedy. Today a chill wind; death to their amoral values.

[Petronski]

Senator Schumer, it's a saucer of what?

Cooling.

Yes, Senator, a cooling saucer. But what's cooling?

The saucer.

Of what?

Cooling. The Saucer of Cooling...

There's a chill wind blowing allright. That's Alito's robe as he dashes past on his way to the SC building.

Conservative victories -- just throwin' a little bleach in the old gene pool.......

Am I the only one who think that Vitter sounds just like the guy on SNL who plays Al Gore?

[carlo3b]

Terrific job my FRiend, conducting these fabulous threads on our well deserved victories on the Court.. I can't help gloating.. I just love the smell of napalm in the morning.. :)

[conservativebabe]

LOL!

[Dad yer funny]

the chill wind could've just been ,...

Fat Teddy Wetbrain had some of those snacks at the bar,

... did'jah ever see those huge jars of pickled hardboiled eggs ??

[mewzilla]

I *should* go login there now, so I can post a message of condolence before they lockdown the boards again. :)

Don't forget yer gear...

[RedBloodedAmerican]

And that is ironic as well; how many times did they point out that Alito gave judgement to local authorities and not rule directly?

[kimmie7]

No. Cloture passed. Discussion is over. It's on to the vote!

If I'm wrong, somebody correct me. But bring me flowers first.

[woofie]

" I have been crying and crying...for hours on end ...ever since Teddy ate that cream-puff....My keyboard is soggy and Im afraid all these tears may affect the computttttt tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt"

[VRWCmember]

When do they start voting?

[clawrence3]

I thought that was decided already with the vote yesterday?! Why is the chair allowing Durbin more time?

[PilloryHillary]

Democrats asking for additional time. Another fake filibuster today???
