Alito brought his children? Will Schumer be easy on them?


He'll probably be as kind to them as the press was to Roberts' kids!!

SPECTRE - the Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion? What are they doing getting involved in this? ;)

They are trying to find the magic bullet...

Does Specter actually think the libtards care that they were totally wrong about Souter being Ronald Reagan? Of course they don't. They have no shame. If they are wrong about something, they just ignore it.

Baahahhaaa! I had the exact same thought earlier:)

I'd feel better if he'd had Fred Thompson working with him as he did with Roberts...instead he had Ed Gillespie.

Specter did the same thing to Roberts, in fact the speech is very similar to the one he gave Roberts. Specter is on my pay no mind list.
