Talking about that toad again..

A toad elevating moment?

[auboy]

Schumer: "Would you wrestle a toad after waking up in the middle of the night."

[Mo1]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Chuckie says he's been up at night just wondering how he will vote

Oh yea .. I believe you Chuckie .. /sarcasm >

[bjc]

So what is the deal about cloning toads?

[CharlesWayneCT]

Another good question. "If we could clone toads, would congress have the right under the commerce clause to ban cloning?"

Roberts: Yes.


My thought: If we could clone endangered species, that would really solve a lot of the problems with the endangered species act.

[Bahbah]

Chuck: You're a fine fellow, Judge, and all that could be wanted in a Justice...but (I am sure this is coming).

[msnimje]

The toad is Schumer...

Then cloning it should certainly be against the law.

[jackv]

oh brother...now the lecture from chuck.

[Miss Marple]

Thanks for everyone's commentary. I will listen in the car on our PBS channel...I have to run errands in a few minutes.

[gopwinsin04]

Chuckie wants to make a closing statement! He's put his water gun away...

[ken5050]

Dems may well toss in the towel..support him bug..gives them political cover for Borking the next one..

[Gritty]

Now Chuckie (of all people) talking about modesty.

[Spunky]

Chuckie now doing a long statement on how good a lawyer and person he is. I am wainting for the BUT MONKEY. As Laura Ingraham says.

[Bahbah]

Does anyone know anyone who is LESS modest than this bunch of egos that we call Senators?

[jackbill]

What does Chuckie know from modesty?

[ChadGore]

New Yorks biggest mistake is not reading his staff memo very effectively.

[Mo1]

So what is the deal about cloning toads?

Chuckie wants an identical twin????

[hobson]

I wish a Senator, any Senator, would read an amendment to the Constitution, like the 2nd Amendment, and then ask Roberts to explain what it means.

Roberts is obviously intelligent but I don't feel like I know anything about his judicial philosophy.

[rwa265]

I will believe it only if he votes yes. Yeah, like that's gonna happen.

[Gritty]

Now bringing up "illegal Amigos" quote! Chuckie is "troubled"...
