OTHER LIVE LINKS
Around the time of Alito's nomination, one of the senators (I think they were on the Judiciary committee) said that they would call Chappakennedy on any attempts by him to take the high road on "values". Let's see if that senator keeps his word.
I think he is related to Osama odaba baddaboom! :-)
I totally agree and I like the point you are making.
I'm writing the lyrics to a new song as we speak;)
Alley Oh Toe and The Gang(s)
Its so pathetic listening to these people praise O'Connor like she was Oliver Wendell Holmes. These EXACT SAME SENATORS have spent the last 5 years nodding and winking to the morons who say Bush stole the election thanks to the Supreme Court. Why no blame for O'Connor for that?
Off Topic, The part we could not hear on Snow's show, DeLay vowed to get the Barrett report out.
I think they did blame her
But that was then ... this is now
normally tactics Dems do ...
Remember how they praised Reagan at his funeral??
When truth is .. they hated him when he was alive
Kyl is a couple of speakers away. I recommend he start with identifying the Senators who wish to pass judgement on Alito.
"Tell me, are we worthy to judge this man? Am I, is Senator Kennedy?, Senator Byrd?"
Swimmer still can't say OBAMA..he's an equal party abuser..
Ref: Alley Oh Toe
The Swimmer knows how to pronounce Alito. He is trying to get a rise out or reaction out of the Judge. Pretty childish.
I'm pretty pleased with Grassley's remarks. I am very glad that our side is fighting back.
Thanks for THAT news! I hope DeLay uses a big hammer.
Grassley doing a great job right now. Doing IA proud.
It makes no sense..if they fuilabuster the next nominee..the GOP will use the nuke option then..
I hope he can!
Yeah!!! Constitutionalism is sadly missing from our government.
Have you studied George's Farewell Address?
For a minute there I thought Ted was saying ATTA.
I think that that fact that Kennedy couldn't even get the man's name right...should be cause to discount his opinions and vote...
I think that Kennedy's speech, and not even knowing his name...just sealed the confirmation for Judge Alito...
PLUS, Grassley just said that Alito had been confirmed UNANIMOUSLY 2 times before in the Senate...
