Durbin....yuck....doncha just wish someone would yank his booster seat from his chair when he wasn't looking?
Schumer makes me cringe. Durbin just makes me fall asleep. How can one man be SO darn boring?
No, I think I'll stick around after all. So far, two lies in 30 seconds. 'Wall between church and state' my nose!
Durbin is concerned about the execution of children? But only the ones that make it out of the womb, right Senator? You can execute the ones in the womb!
I'm SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT O'CONNOR....the loons are heart sick she's leaving...I thank The Lord she's out of there...
LMAO!!
When we went to Nashville in the fall my husband told me, "Stop telling people we are from Chicago", because he was embarassed. LOL I told him, "I'm guessing they will figure it out the second they hear us speak."
TY
Cornyn isn't going to go along with the "sham" dems, that say that they haven't made up their minds yet.
Durbin is a certified 100% no vote. His cards are laying out there for all to see.
Yeah, but it takes too long that way because so are we. lol!
EASY NOW my FRiend,
Sen. Sessions said it "sarcasticly" and CORRECTLY stated that the nomminnee should NOT decide cases on the basis of SUPER DUPER DUPER whatever.. but rather on the Constitution ITSELF !!!
It was preview of what is to come.. SEN. Specter is the one who FIRST used the term "super-duper-pooper-scooper" or whatever in the media when dicussing SCOTUS nominations.
Although I have not received gas pump training and not highly skilled in that area, I am quite sure I can pump gas into my car in the same amount of time as a "professional" gas station attendant. I'd be interested in seeing your detailed analysis. :-)
Maybe we can get him to cry again. That would liven things up.
Brings up Terri Schiavo. What a lowlife.
Durbin has just admitted that he wants a Supreme
court judge to MAKE law. He didn't hear a word that Hatch said about the ROLE of judges vs the ROLE of Congress.
LOL>>INDEED!
LMAO!
Specter WOULD be the expert on pooper scooping wouldn't he.
