Honig I think is his last name.

Wow, I wonder what decisions were made that would have Jonathan say that Alito is anti property rights?

How is it accurate to call an event a "hearing" when the people presumably there to hear speak for the first 3 1/2 hours of the event.

Jonathan usually pretty good compared to the other bozo's on that Sat am show except when a libertarian issue comes up, his rules-based logic kicks in and he pulls the level like a well-trained seal.

Kean turned in a digusting performance in the 9/11 Commission, IMHO....and would NOT be acceptable to me...if I lived in that state.

They use this extremist language from one nominee to the next and it never comes to fruition (sp?).

The Tom Kean running for the Senate is the son of the former governor, Tom Kean, who chaired the 911 commission.
