That is so true. The Republicans always show respect to the nominee. The Dems always attack with accusations.

[Dog]

This has been a train wreck today for the DEMS. I don't expect questions tomorrow I look for them to go the panel.

[fatima]

Yes but the Dem's will not let Alito answer.

[newnhdad]

It's a court of public opinion thing. The lamestream media will be harping on Alito's failure to answer the tough questions.They will make him look weak and tired while
the feind and schmuckie will be heroes, preserving women's ability to murder unborn babies,I mean "healthcare choices"..

He'll be skewered tomorrow morning and people that aren't lucky enough to watch the entire thing (like most of us freepers) will be presented half the story.

Wahoo! Coryn has Alito and O'connor being two peas in a pod. Eat that you dimwits!

[Mo1]

LOL ... nice picture

[eeevil conservative]

LOL! They barely stop at accusations... they LECTURE!

they think it si all about THEM!

[Wolfstar]

Simply amazing to compare and contrast Democrat appointees treatment by Republican Senators with this disgrace.

It is amazing. Republicans are like gentlemen playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules. Dems are like the worst warf rats and gutter fighters.

[mware]

Unleash the hounds, I mean shews of hell and cry Havoc.

[Jrabbit]

They have to keep their daddy, Soros, happy. He's got the big bucks.

So now what? Hearings tomorrow?

[Wolfstar]

I wonder if a nine hour grilling of an alQaida detainee would be allowed by the new McCain anti-"torture" legislation?

Leaving aside the fact that this question has nothing to do with the subject at hand, I think McEgo's bill of rights for terrorists is a travesty.

[MOgirl]

Hello,

NO WAY! This changes everything!

Well, not really, except that I will now support Alito even more....

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[freeangel]

"are like warf rats and gutter fighters"

No, the ARE warf rats and gutter fighters(or snipers).

[eeevil conservative]

LOL!!!!

Schumer was quite skillful in accomplishing what he wanted to do

HAAAAAAA! Sorry but this is incredibly naive. You do NOT accomplish things in politics by making yourself look thuggish and our of control. This may turn on the loony base of the Democrat party but Schumer's act did ENOURMOUS damage to the Democrats PR of being trustworthy with power. Schumer came across as an out of control Soviet Style Apparatchik at a show trial. It's like the Wellstone Memorial. It does NOT give the Independents a very good feeling about the Democrats ability to separate partisanship from power. That sort of histrionics may sell well in New York, it will NOT play anywhere outside of New York.

[Wolfstar]

Same thing.

[ErnBatavia]

Look at all the empty chairs, vacated by those Judicial Committee members who maybe felt the need to knock back a Chivas or three....

[mware]

Schumers comments regarding Alitos wife and mother in law are becoming a laughing stock statement.

[eeevil conservative]

They really should just call it a done deal...why waste the time..

Alito is BRILLIANT! He did GREAT!


oh- yeah-

we need to have a few more days so the DEMS can use it for FUNDRAISING......OY!

[CFC__VRWC]

He'll be skewered tomorrow morning and people that aren't lucky enough to watch the entire thing (like most of us freepers) will be presented half the story.

They tried the same thing with Roberts.

And just who is the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?
