They are delusional. They live in a universe parallel to ours.
Repugnant fools.

The sick underbelly of our society feeding off each other due to the internet.... the only real drawback to the net is how it allows the total whacko's and predators a forum.

Stands to reason when one is bent on using the judicial branch to establish law apart from the will of the people. That's another thing Democrats "stand for."

Hilarious....the dembos lose another one. They couldn't find one little thing. As hard as they tried, taking it into a 3rd session just hoping Alito would be tired and trip up. LOL...didn't happen. ;o)

Wait... That was a CURRENT picture?

That picture looks to be about a year old, despite the fact he's got a Brady Bunch hairdo, and 1980's era glasses.

"orchestrated by Rove"

Hee hee hee

Thanks for the link, but I don't dare go to DU while I am at work. Something about rules against accessing sites laced with profanity. I could get in big trouble.

Being liberal is a mental illness. And those posts from DU are living proof.

I thank the Good Lord every day that Miers withdrew. What a mistake the President made on that one, but he recovered quite nicely with Alito.

Good grief, those whack jobs are not only hysterical, but evil. So much for the "tolerant" party. At least these beasts are exposing themselves...

Why is Erwin going to be a witness? The man will put them to sleep.

Alito I guess couldn't push this theory, but it has great merit. The Independent Council statute set up a quasi-executive branch of government, performing executive branch functions, but outside the perview of the President.

The constitution specifically requires that ALL executive branch functions be directly controlled by the president. It would be rational to argue that a president should be able to remove any executive branch employee as part of that power, which is why Leahy asked Alito about whether congress could pass a law establishing executive-branch independent commissions where the president could not remove the employees.

Wonder if the plan could have always been that Miers would pull herself out...rope-a-dope...wasn't it around the same time when fitz announced his indictment?

Heh heh heh. That's what I wondered.

Erwin Chemerinsky... This is going to be a freak show.......and I'm going out! dang it

Hugh Hewitt is sure to cover it on his show tonight. Every time that I hear the name "Irwin", I think of those stupidly funny "Sit n Sleep" commercials ("YOU'RE KILLING ME LARRY!")

I've suspected just that when she pulled out. W's administration just doesn't make those kind of mistakes. LOL

For those watching Fox..

A construction worker fell into a trench in NY. It's because Bush failed to spend money on trench prevention.

So now the rest of the hearings will be testimony from such diverse groups as Now, PAW, and Dykes on Bikes against Alito.

I hear there's going to be an intermission for mud wrestling. Got to keep this process dignified, ya know.

And the WORST PART!! Not ONE Republican called Leahy on it!

And CORRECTED that idiot. That angered me the most. Repubs act like they are afraid of the dems.

It was a RARE treat to see Spector b*tch slap Teddy the other day. Awwww....it felt good! LOL
