It's also illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon. I didn't know about NJ.

[defconw]

But why? What is the reasoning?

[Choose Ye This Day]

It's down under 11,000 again. The Dems will say: "Bush's economy is too weak to sustain this level of blah blah blah."

[old_sage_says]

Kohl is showing his hand. He is pathetic, at best.

[defconw]

Do you mean Carl Levin? This is Herb Kohl doing an imitation of Levin.

[Jrabbit]

Any bets on how many times Fineswine mentions abortion?

Kohl bemoaning rights....what a giggle.

Did he just say "pubic excitement"...WTH is he talking about??

[Choose Ye This Day]

"Before we give you the keys to the car, we want to know where you're going to take us." In other words, Kohl wants Alito to say how he's going to decide before he even hears the cases.

"Hostility to individual rights." What an *ss.

Must be Rove tinkering w/the stock machine again....giving dems enough hope rope to hang themselves.

[Txsleuth]

Illegal to pump your own gas????

WTH???

Gosh, next you will tell me that it is illegal to take your own groceries out to your car!

[defconw]

LOL :)

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Yes. Well, getting my book in print has shown me just how most people are very unconcerned with what truly matters in this world-TRUTH.

[Txsleuth]

VOTE for Lynn Swann.....

[Fudd Fan]

What is wrong with Delaware anyway?

Just part of the blue-state bloc that runs from Maine (I count it as blue becaue of the RINOs) to Maryland.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"Leahy says the President can't "pack the court"."

Can't? he forgot about what Roosevelt did.

[Carolinamom]

Yes! I must have dozed off....it's Carl LEVIN.

[Mo1]

About the groups Alito belongs to......what was that "group" that Ruth represented?
