Alright Peach... just got in. How bad was it today and did they look totally stupid?
Actually I would like to know what happened today as well. I've been out all day...
Hi, Ali. I wasn't around a lot but did catch some of the people who testified against Alito. They weren't as nutty as I thought they'd be--they seemed resigned. LOL
That doesn't mean they didn't say that Alito would set back women's rights and civil rights, etc. Samo samo.
It sounds like Specter is going to hold firm to the 17th to get the vote out of committee, although there is a possibility that Leahy will talk him into a week's extension. It's permissable under the rules but I'm unclear if when another deal was struck a month ago which postponed the hearings until after Christmas if Specter was smart and made that deal with the proviso that there would be no more delays.
