Alito Time!
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?
It's fun to watch the guys watch the guy speaking after them. :)
My heavens!! Teddy must be desperate.
LOL!
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.
I just go home from work....I see Alito swearing in....
3 and 1/2 hours later and he is JUST NOW GETTING TO TALK!?!?!?!
What did I miss....other than Leahy claiming that Bush cn't pack the courts....Arlen putting peeps to sleep, and that they want "independence from Bush"? (I have no idea waht the heck the independence thing means....)
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.
Is that Mrs. Alito in the red suit?
Quick, somebody hand him a Bushmills and water...LOL. Is he starting to shake?
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?).
Yes. Sweet face.
Yes, that's Mrs. Alito sitting behind him.
The Tom Kean running for the Senate is the son of the former governor, Tom Kean, who chaired the 911 commission.
Alito talking about his parents.
No TV chez sl's cube :-) I don't know, but red is a good color on every woman.
It's his son..
