Paul Ryan, the Republican congressman? In on a Bush bash? (or Ron Paul perhaps...)
We heard.
Kennedy has a little captain in him.
I've heard the entire case; and the USSC agreed with him.
No...too far north of me. I can't even pick up Ft. Wayne.
What do you expect of a party continually living in the past of Watergate, Vietnam, racial tensions, and "women being denied basic human rights"?
Moby Dick drinks Captain Morgan? LOL LOL LOL
Yes, but isn't it a bit odd that she was so up front in pointing out that the democrat party is dependent on brainless people who don't know how to speak in complete sentences?
DU is moonbat central..they're insane..ANY body been over to MoveOn or Daily Kos..those are the two blogs that Harry Reid reports to every week..what are they saying..?
listen to this: "judge alito has CHAMPIONED..." like he's made speeches............I hate these people.
Reginal Turner was on the C-Span Morning Journal yesterday trashing Alito.
Notice how none of the "anti-alito" witnesses really KNOW him...
ALL of the "Pro-Alito" witnesses personally know him and have worked closely with him.
I was just about to post those very thoughts.
LOL!
THE FINAL WITNESS!!!
I hadn't thought of that...but, they probably would get angry if the child was taken from that home also...

12:29 Now, Reginald Turner on behalf of the National Bar Association, founded as a bar association for African American lawyers which has taken positions on only three of Bush's nominees.
The Association focuses on nominees' commitment to extending the blessings of liberty to all Americans.
Alito's record shows a hostility toward doctrines and rights that promote this value. For example, opposition to one-person-one-vote precedents. In another, while working in the Reagan administration, Alito mischaracterized legitimate affirmative action programs as "quota" systems.
The views of "attorney Alito" carry over into the decisions of "judge Alito." Particularly in the area of remedies for civil rights violations and in protecting the health and welfare of Americans. He has been the most frequent dissenter in the Third Circuit, 90% because the majority was not conservative enought. He opposed civil rights plaintiffs 85% of the time where the panel was divided.
The National Bar Association cannot support this nomination.
yay, final witness..
oh NAACP.........wonder what he'll say?
THere are times I wish the senate could see fit to call a witness out of order.
I don't care if you think Alito will rule incorrectly on every case that comes before him -- calling him a criminal and saying he should be incarcerated should be out-of-bounds for a hearing where you testify under oath, unless you have proof of a crime.
Of course they oppose.
Know Alito? No. Make money off opposing him and President Bush? Yes.
