I don't understand the Democrat's tactic of delay. It gains them nothing.

[bigsigh]

.........waiting for a miracle. Maybe he'll be found to be the long lost brother of Charles Manson.

I think it was O'Reilly that said they should just look at his rulings over the years and vote. The hearing and the rest is just so much political BS.

"I do not see a likelihood of a filibuster," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. "This might be a man I disagree with, but it doesn't mean he shouldn't be on the court."

She said she will not vote to confirm the appeals court judge, based on his conservative record. But she acknowledged that nothing emerged during last week's hearings to justify any organized action by Democrats to stall the nomination.

A new Democratic party dogma is about to be set in place as a new directive?

Go ahead Diane, smear him, his family, and the horse that tows their wagon!

Cut the stealth games and show us who you and the Democratic party really are.

I dare you.

The harm will come to the rats if they filibuster so I am all for it.

In all likelyhood Pres. Bush will get one more pick to SC.... if they filibuster over Alito that makes them look even more silly for the 3rd pick.

3rd pick on media will be THE VAST RIGHT WING SUPREME COURT 24/7 regardless.

Lately, it's all they have.

Does that help? ; )

[festus]

Who's your guess for the #3 vacancy ?

It must be pretty thick writing on the wall for the left if Feinstein is saying this.

[Pukin Dog]

The only reason for the delay is an attempt to prevent Bush from welcoming Alito during the SOTU address.

Yes, it is just that petty in Washington.

IMHO, it does -- it prevents Bush from being able to talk about Alito in the state of the union address.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif

She may be a democrat, and a liberal one, but she is not a moonbat.

[Democratshavenobrains]

Has DU started a hate thread about her yet?

[EGPWS]

The hearing and the rest is just so much political BS.

They are trying to confirm the idea to their voters that they are worthy of reelection.

[Parmy]

They just want to have another meeting so they can blow gas out of both ends of they overfed bodies.

[Dog Gone]

There's nothing stopping the President from mentioning him, anyway. Put it in the context of demanding swifter action on judicial nominees.

[mware]

Word is DU'ers are threatening to go green if they do not filibuster.

[plsvn]

She may be a democrat, and a liberal one, but she is not a moonbat.

Me thinks you are too kind!

[Talking_Mouse]

In all likelyhood Pres. Bush will get one more pick to SC.... if they filibuster over Alito that makes them look even more silly for the 3rd pick.

And, please Lord, the 4th.

If they try to use the filibuster they will have their collective @$$s handed to them. The filibuster will then be off the table for the real fight, the replacement of Justice Bader-Ginsburg (within 18 months) and possibly Justice Stevens.

[DoughtyOne]

Nah, she's a moonbat alright. She's just having an off day.

She's is a leading proponent of gun control. She at one time, perhaps still does carry a concealed weapon herself.

"While we harbor some anxiety about the direction he may push the court, we would be more alarmed at the long-term implications of denying him a seat."

Dianne actually gets it.
Deny Alito, get Janice Rodgers Brown.
Deny JRB and get someone even tougher.

You democrats want "hard ball" we got yer "Hard ball"!

[Pukin Dog]

Not good enough. Alito is going to be SEATED in the front row, with his wife next to Laura during the speech. This is what the Dems want to prevent.
