Thanks, my firend..BTW..if you have time..can you post the order of senators speaking..so we can plan our scheduiles accordingly..
What's Grassley saying (for the cubicle-bound)?
Biden: "....a consequential nomination..."
Oh, it's political for Biden?
IOWA also keeps sending Harkin back to the Senate. For the life of me, I will never understand that..
IMO I think Senator Biden is now above his pay scale.
they think "illogically" that the public will be on THEIR side in that battle. IE, when a liberal resigns/dies they think the public is actually for keeping the "balance" of the court *rolling eyes*.
Alito is the Mike McGwire and Sammy Souser of Judges.
Both he and Hatch addressed the hearing in constitutional terms. Grassley also pointed out that the Senate has already confirmed him. Hatch pointed out a similar argument.
Now Biden is ridiculing the memberships of Alito.
Biden will be supporting the status quo. Isn't that the conservative posistion?
I'm headed out of the house about 10 seconds from now ;-)
Dems all this Sunday keep talking about poll (pols?) that purport to show that 70% of SAmericans support Roe, or abortion, or whatever? What are these polls?
I like your way of thinking.
who is she?
"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."
Yes. And Teddy in the sports car is just hysterical. This should be plastered across the front page of newspapers to remind people of the kind of person he is. He left Miss Kopechne to drown, and has subsequently done the same to everyone else.
Great point!
huh?
