Just a reminder..worthwhile to check out Nation Review's online blog..Bench Memos..lots of realtime commentary..mand Mark Levin will be a must listen tonightr, and his show starts tonight in Washington DC..LIVE, on WMAL..where he will turn =his tender ministrations tot he Dems..
Senator Biden neglects that the "one democratic moment" occurred on November 2, 2004. President Bush won 51% to 48% the right to appoint justices to the Supreme Court. There are 55 Republican Senators and a pro-life Republican President. The Supreme Court is going to move to the right, whether the left likes it or not.
Biden "can't fathom, can't fAAAAAAAthom"...that the framers didn't want Alito to tell us every single thing he thinks about ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION!!!!
I have to fix my TV. I swear...it happened during Leahy and now Biden. I keep hearing Charlie Brown's teacher's voice in the background. Must be a cross signal or something.
Biden...Boxer...who is the dumbest senator? I cannot decide.
I think that's it...
What is this "little guy" stuff. Does Biden think that all court cases should be means-tested? Gosh, every time I forget about how much I dislike Biden, he pops up to remind me all over again.
what Joe Biden " can't fathom" about our founder fathers is also his biggest weakness
Logic has never been Joe Biden's strong point. He's too much in love w/his own voice to care what he says....you know, process, not content.
Miers reference! Drink!
I vote for Biden, because unlike Boxer he should know better.
ROFLMAO.....I can STILL hear that sound bite in my head!!!
Soon...maybe not this week..perhaps not next...but soon- we will hear about the Right to Sensitivity.
Mark my words;)
Jon Kyl with a good start.....Alito is the most experienced candidate in many years.
Go JON!
I am sick of Biden too.
"Biden is nothing but a dim-witted donkey. What is wrong with Delaware anyway?"
They're just not aware, over there in Delaware.
Sounds like Howard Dean calling abortion = Health care for women
Nothing like changing the meaning of words .. but then, they do like to change the facts of history
Maybe, Alito should answer all those questions in Latin, the ones the Dems pose.
