What's he going on about Miers for?
OMG..LOL LOL
I hope you found the tooth. I'm listening to Rush with the t.v. off. I can't take Dems today which includes Arlen.
Because he's an ijit.
Leahy already taking his jabs.
I read that quickly & thought it said "flatulence" !
DRINK LIST: (For those not at work)
Notice that Leahy wants independence from the President's views.....that leaves only one view: Leahy's and Moveon.
Hey Leaky
If there is a vacancy on the court?? .. he sure can .. LOLOLOL
Oh yeah? Watch him.
Just to aggravate me!
Despite all their big talk, does anyone here believe that even one dem member of this committee will be voting FOR Alito?
```Notice that Leahy wants independence from the President's views.....```
when did that become the rule?
The heck he can't.
Pat does not know that GWB not only won the election but he can and will "pack the court" if he wants to. This is just so painful to listen to. What a bunch of wind! "To the victors, go the spoils".
"Can't pack the court with people we don't like" whaa whaa whaa.
Did you see the Alito rally on TV last night held in Phila.?
Kewl, good thing I am off today! :)
This is the point where the Dems lie and say how they plan to be impartial! They make nice with the nominees before they go for the throat. Quite disgusting!!
If Republicans lavish so much praise on Ginsberg when she retires, I'm gonna hurl.
I'm so happy Dad has started drilling in my floor. Now I can't hear Leahy!
