I'd love to move to Texas so Cornyn could be my senator! (instead of DiFi and Boxarox) Go get em John.
Tell Durbin to shut up-bringing up Alito's father-shame on him.
Squats ought to do it!
Hey TOL? Do you have an extra harddrive for all your GIFs and pix?
Gotta hand it you. You are good.
No shame. We need lightning bolts, NOW!
Turbin is a traitor....giving out highly classified info.
Will the two NJ Senators vote NO to their native son???
Lautenberg will be introducing Alito but remember that Evan Bayh introduced Roberts before he stabbed him in the back.
Jersey has a real strong Italian American population. Lautenberg and Menendez might not have the nerve to vote against Alito.
;-)
I didn't get an exact quote, but all that he said implied it. He called the Court the "last refuge".....Freudian slip imo, for it is the dem's last refuge to meke the laws they want.
God, I hate this man
Jeeminy! They have no shame at all!
Chuckie looks like he's going to give Dickie a big wet kiss! Sorry for the visual!
Are we ready to hear the Islamic call to prayer five times daily reverberating from the top of some mosque?
I think that Durbin tries SO HARD to be "cute" in his speeches...that he does end up saying STOOPID things...
Just like a few minutes ago...he talked about how many times that SDO'Connor was the "swing" vote...and how they want reassurance that HE will also be that swing vote!!!
What an idiot.
Oh...what a lowlife...not only the Gitmo stuff....now, he is bringing up a finding on a coal mine case...and throwing up the WVA coal mine tragedy!!!! DISGUSTING!
Bringing up the coalminers now.
Hiding my head in shame that he is my senator.
Durbin is covering everything, isn't he? I despise that man.
He is the MAN in salaMANder.
He is under investigation by the DOJ for being one of the leaks. I hope he gets plugged!
I am already sick-Please.
