The President’s selection of Third Circuit Court Judge Samuel Alito to replace retiring Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor must initiate a thoughtful and deliberate process of closely examining and scrutinizing Judge Alito’s record to determine whether he merits a seat on the highest court in the nation. What we currently know about Judge Alito raises serious questions about whether he will be steadfast in protecting our most fundamental rights. I intend to closely examine Judge Alito’s record and qualifications and carefully monitor the Judiciary Committee hearings in order to determine whether he intends to be a guardian of the rule of law who puts fairness and justice before ideology.
I hope that both the President and Judge Alito will be forthcoming during this process so that my colleagues and I can fully discharge our constitutional mandate of providing the President with meaningful 'advice and consent' on his nomination."
TRANSLATION: It doesn't matter who he is, Chuckie and I voted against roberts and we'll vote against Alito.
Anyone who still thinks that she isn't running in 2008 should read (between the lines on) this more carefully.
Yeah, I'm George W. really hags on your every word, Hill.
Sounds like she's just being a little more subtle than Babblin' Babs....but it's still a "no" vote, fershur.
MEANING: "If you withhold even a paper napkin this man doodled on from me, I will vote against him..."
Woops, I meant "hangs".
Hey,honey....that Hot Springs goober pal of yours was once
mentioned as a possible candidate for the SCOTUS and I never
heard any such noise from you about that!
Once more, Queen Hillary has said NOTHING of substance. She gives pleasantries to the little minions of her world and ACTS like she will be "thoughtful" in the process.
Anyone who still thinks that she isn't running in 2008 should just give it up and go chug a pitcher of Drano.
I hope she does, then we will be rid of her.
You beat me to it.
Your Descronifricator Truth Detector must be a faster, more up to date model than mine.
In 1996 the White House pulled files from the FBI on hundreds of Republicans
-- ostensibly for security clearance, but hundreds of former Ronald Reagan and George Bush appointees never being considered for jobs were included. Some, like Linda Tripp, were holdovers, but at least 400 were not -- from James Brady to James Baker, John Whitehead to James Carville. (Some White House snoop probably said merrily, "Let's see what they've got on Carville.")
TRANSLATION:
I'm running in 2008 and I don't want to look like a leftist lunatic....
translation= no vote, nothing new here lets move on
Not turn this into an abortion thread, but only to accurately decode Hitlery and to translate her evasive doublespeak into plain English.
Oh I totally agree she is running in 2008.

Isn't the role of a judge to rule based on the merits of each case as they come before their bench? The dims believe judges should run around creating laws to protect rights as the dims see them. This dichotomy is the fundamental difference and the reason the calls for "uniting and not dividing" is nothing but ignorant silliness.
