Alito is so far maintaining a perfect poker face. Good for him.

If Bush is so extreme and amassing unlimited control, shouldn't they be impeaching him rather than entertaining his Justice selections?

Leahy's lying big time: "I have NOT decided how I am going to vote."

I see Rush agrees with me. Alito should just sit there and look bored. LOL.

I'd love to see the Republicans use this as a platform to answer charges that Alito is somehow racist to remind America that WE voted for the Civil Rights Act in larger numbers than Democrats.
