Yes. We would have gotten either Tribe or Cuomo.
Thank you.
excellent! Just because one is a PROF of LAW at some college does not make them an expert! Dims think their so cool for pulling up these freaks. When in fact it should scare every parent of a high school senior!
The new generation of "light hold" hair spray doesn't produce that "helmet" look, but your average elderly lady LIKES it that way. She doesn't have to worry about it until next Wednesday.

Tribe is probably the only democrat presidential nominee the republicans would rebel against. Clinton passed him by twice for this reason.
We might have to help Nora find a job after this hearing.
Democrats are thinking how dare she turn from the Tribe.
That's what I was thinking. My son has been watching and said he thinks he'd like to go to Harvard to possibly become a Federal Judge someday.
After seeing these kooks... I don't think so. :/
If Tribe and Biden ever had to compete for mic time it might come to blows.
Nice bitch-slap by Fried on Tribe.
why do the dims trot out professors that have no real experience and the republicans bring people that are currently gainfully employed and contributing to society?
Dang...they ALMOST gave Sessions time...before they kicked him off for Dianne Feinstein.
Did Feinstien just ask the "if you were a tree, what tree would you be" question? LOL.
whole independent counsel system has "been corrupted and no longer serves its intended purpose."
Exactly what I was thinking. LOL
A senior Senate GOP aide provides this update on Senate floor action on Alitos nomination:Reid's people approached Frist's staff with an Alito offer late this afternoon. Alito would be able to come out of committee on Thursday, January 19th, in exchange for an indication that Alito debate could start the week after -- but that Alito's final confirmation vote wouldn't happen until February 1 or 2. Furious, Frist shot that down. Tomorrow, Reid and his people are likely to try to float another variation of this slowdown scheme, and Frist will have none of it. He is prepared to put the hammer on this thing down and get it started as soon as it comes out of the committee, even if the Democrats hold the markup over all the way to January 24th (which they have the right to do under committee rules). Frist wanted the nomination done in December, maneuvered it to be as early as possible in January, and isn't inclined to take a kiss-your-sister promise of early February as some sort of reasonable Beltway compromise. Those days are over.
Just one comment on the committee Democrats right to hold over the markup for a week: In his opening comments on Tuesday, Chairman Specter firmly stated his expectation that, absent "something extraordinary," the committee vote on Alito would take place next Tuesday, January 17. In other words, Specter clearly believed that he had a deal with Leahy, even if there was not a formal waiver of the right to hold over the markup. Nothing extraordinary has happened, so lets hope that Specter, who has been a model of fairness and firmness, doesnt let himself be bullied or cheated by Leahy and has the markup next Tuesday. That would enable Senator Frist to adhere to his long-planned date of January 20 for a final vote on confirmation.
Ridiculous questioning, as usual, by DiFi. Back to the death questions.
I have a question. Which dim is more like the devil?
DIFI your such a skank
