OTHER LIVE LINKS
Alito is so far maintaining a perfect poker face. Good for him.
Leahy in earlier years?
Illegal Spying! DOUBLE!
Is it just me and my TV or is anyone else hearing Charlie Brown's teacher in the background too? WAH WAH WAH WA WA WAH WAH WAH
Leahy is so boring.
And that's about the nicest thing you can say about him!!
I'm supposed to be packing away my sweet little ceramic Christmas elves...I think I just squished one of their tiny heads! Dang....shut up Leaky!
How the man can sit there without rolling his eyes is beyond me.
Leahy's lying big time: "I have NOT decided how I am going to vote."
Leaky says the President has been acting "outside of the law". WRONG.
Alito will get a chance about 4pm eastern.
Leahy is ripping into GWB- over the NSA...one of the worst abuses of power in our history..
What a smug ole SOB he is.
Hatch up
Thank God, Leaky is done.
What the heck are you talking about?
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.
LOL! Great description of Leahy's speech!!
