Hey she got the money and that's what counts .. if not .. I don't care anymore *L*
Oh, so now retiring justices have the exclusive right to appoint their successors? Not in my copy of the Constitution!
I figure I've got time to do a couple of hours of research at the library, go pick up my dog from the groomer, and still not miss Alito's opening statement.
I sure as heck am not going to stick around and listen to these self-important Senator's make their "opening statements". BBL
Miers withdrawl is representative of Bush's catering to the wishes of those conservatives who didn't know how she would vote.
His logic is that if the conservatives cared for voting futures, the liberals can too.
No I missed it
How did Santorum do?
Spoil sport.
that's their only hope, one for one
HEY LEAHEY?!!?
How did Bill Clinton "replace" Byron White with Ruth Bader Ginsburg??
OMG- Leahy just insulted Alito...saying Bush COULD have appointed a minority or woman...blah..blah...but he DIDN'T.
FOFL!!!
lol.
Grandstanding as usual
That won't be the last time we hear that either!
He's a class A putz. Like it's somehow Alito's fault that he isn't Leahy's first choice.
Must add:
"Extreme"
MIERS MENTIONED AGAIN! Drink!
Now Leahy's scolding Alito because he's not black/Hispanic/woman/gay/midget/retarded or otherwise representative of minorities. Oy.
Glad my t.v. is off. It would now be broken.
