I called the arrogant lout's office this morning and really let rip. Among other things I demanded that he reveal the list of individuals and interest groups he had colluded with in preparing for these hearings.

How is he ever going to prove that? Who cares anyway? There is no law against consulting with an attorney.

why is he still asking questions?? We already know that Feind-gold isn't going to vote for him

Does he love his own voice that much?

A neighbor called and I missed all of Feinstein's questions; anything big I've missed? Big? Nah, just Feinstein's hair. No one really knows where she was going with her mumbling. Grassley did a nice job.

Russty is more concerned with hearing his on voice than hearing what Alito has to say.

Each RAT member of the committee has an extremist group to appease.

DiFi's is the pro-death crowd.

Feingold is "concerned" that Alito actually PREPARED for these meetings by lawyers?

Oh, horrors of horrors, some of those attorneys may actually have been involved in defending the President's position on the NSA electronic eavesdropping.

Keep in mind that the Executive Branch is of EQUAL POWER with the Legislative.

The executive has special powers, even in time of war. In the Federalist Papers you can find continual references that the survival of the republic is of utmost of importance.

Feingold wants Alito to side with Bush's use of power.

I think it is safe to say that Feingold doesn't have a clue of what the Constitution says either

He also doesn't have a clue in how to present the facts of a case correctly either

Feinstgold keeps saying criminal .. and that the President is spying on Americans

He seems to forget the part about Americans receiving phone calls from KNOWN terrorists that want to MURDER Americans

Since the 17th Amendment passed, the Senate has steadily declined into a chamber infected with the disease of party spirit and fundraising.

...in other words, the Senate has become a house of political party prostitutes.

IMHO, "Steel Seizure" is distinguishable from the NSA situation.

HUGELY distinguishable! I figure there is terrirotry between FISA and what the President is doing, and as even Jean Harman says, either the law has to change (not a bad idea), or some other rationale needs to be developed lest the government encroach on the people's right under the 4th. It's a sticky issue, but Congress can address it. RIght now they are playing politics with it, and it's going to be a loser for them at that level.

It's a very serious matter, but I really disresepct the fact that the DEMs are trying to flesh the issue out in this venue. Sure, discuss the process and make sure the judge can see arguments on both sides, then get on.

Others have hit on this, and what the DEMs are doing is using this venue for what they think will be political advantage. I'm convinced Alito will balance the rights of the people and the powers of the branches of government quite well.

Alito - admits this is an awesome isuue, sometimes even not justiciable. Alito is giving answers that are so good and so forthcoming - awesome, just awesome.

And Feingold admits this issue is really outside the bounds of this hearing. Russ, if it's not justiciable, all it means is "it's up to Congress and the President to set the boundary." I doubt that will be the case where an individual has a personal 4th amendment claim, BTW.
