I will make another claim (I may get flamed for this, not neessarily by you).
the most important testmony for Alito so far - has been from Christine Todd Whitman. Yes, I know she is a pro-choice "RINO". But the point is, that's the type of Senator holding our slim majority in the senate together. It was good to have her speak for Alito, and she did several talk radio shows speaking in favor of him also, where she made some very good arguments for his confirmation.
Durbin thinks he has someting to nail Alito on. Alito swishes him away like a gnat.
I cannot imagine having my husband, the most decent man I've ever known, besmirched by the likes of chief Rat Kennedy. The murderer and alcoholic.
Mrs. Alito has been strong in keeping her emotions in check and it's interesting that it wasn't the attacks that undid her. It was the kindness.
it appears as if the Feingold thing was incorrect.

"Despise" works for me. Because there are two syllables you can really accent the second and project your anger! I used it all the time with WJC and just saying it made me feel better.
They are also despicable and contemptible losers which is why it's so satisfying to see them slapped. Arlen did a good job today with the swimmer. I notice he had to take a drink right after he was chastised like a child--what are the bets that most likely isn't water?
Fox News ran the tape of Mrs. Alito crying several times during the 6 p.m. news. You could see the tears glistening in her eyes. Then she wiped the tears away. She exhibited enormous self-control in not running over and slapping each blowhard! The Alitos are one classy couple, which is an unknown foreign word to most of the senators.
Durbin really dug deep to come up with some ammo agains Alito....to no avail. I thought Alito handled him very well.
Attack Pack.
I like that - It describes Teddy, Schumer, Biden, et al perfectly. They have turned this hearing into another Wellstone "crash bash" memorial. Congratulations 'rats: hope your moonbat base is happy.
My #1 is the ultimate overturn of Roe. I believe I have a chance with this man.
Did you buy a house to live in, or to flip?
I missed that..... you're right, it is huge!
Exactly, Peach. Graham's apology was a release for her pent-up frustrations, probable anger, and heartbreak at the treatment her husband was receiving. Her children are not small, but they were there to see their father being treated so nastily, and I'm sure that also weighted heavily on Mrs. Alito's mind.
I haven't watched any of this yet til tonight but am enjoying it. Will put the tape in before I turn in. Does anyone know how long this goes? Just started at 8PM on C-SPAN as a repeat.
I was SHOCKED to hear tha Feingold had already said he was going to vote for Alito...
because, remember, he is the one that asked for a list of every single person that was ever involved in the "moot court" sessions that the White House put Alito through as practice for this...
he wants the list by tomorrow morning...so, why would he cave today??
I think someone misheard something. That's all I can figure.
I think it was Brownback who said that, not Feingold.
