OTHER LIVE LINKS
And the three Stooges all together, Feingold, Schumer, and Durbin. How sweet.
Alito is in the house!
Yesterday, Shumer was on Meet the Press. Within the same breath, Shumer used the word 'extreme' twice in talking about Alito.
Shumer is trying to set up the 'extreme' litmus test the whacky-14 agreed on for other judicial nominations.
Alito being seated now. Looks happy and pretty relaxed.
Meanwhile, the Dingos are ready to pounce...
Ummmmmm Lunch....
wurkin' and lurkin'. Thanks for putting up the live thread, ;o)
Stomach churning gag provoking....
Here's the Scottish law expert
Present!
Alito brought his children? Will Schumer be easy on them?
Is he embarrassing himself and his party as usual?
"Alito brought his children? Will Schumer be easy on them?"
NAAAAW
You have my sympathy- that's usually my schedule too!
Just finished the introductions of his family- his wife and mother-in-law are both librarians- his kids are in high-school and college..nice looking family.
I love the introduction of the family. It puts such a human face on the person the Dems try to demonize.
I can't imagine being a family member sitting there when my loved one is being attacked.
Just getting warmed up....hope the swimmer or leaky or doll hair don't scare him too much
Specter looks pretty good,not as sick looking as he was before.
His hair is growing in nicely.
It disgusts me that these turds get to bloviate for 4 hours before Alito's statement.
leaky hopes r e a l questions will be asked
Lame Leahy attempt at joke.
