Good morning once again, all you fellow political junkies. Put on a fresh pot of coffee, put the sticky buns in the oven, put a fresh battery in the remote control, and join us for the latest episode of the world's greatest daytime soap opera, "As the Democrats Bloviate." Yup, once again, it's that time...

Sen. Leahy knows that by the time the FISA cases reach the Supreme Court, President Bush will be out of office.

It means there is one full day between the day of the motion, and the day of the vote. You can have the motion at 11pm tuesday, and the vote at 10am thursday.

IMO the (D)s will make sure Alito gets 60 votes just so they will have a talking point for their base:

"Hey, were sorry moveOn.org, but there weren't enough votes for a filibuster, so moveOn.org...
... you need to moveOn.
"

GAG! Sen. Kennedy the protector of civil liberties for all? Will anyone in the Senate have the cojones to bring up the fact that Sen. Kennedy did not protect the liberty, or the life of Mary Jo Kopechne!

In terms of bloviating, I don't know which side is worse, ours or theirs. But in terms of truth telling, Democrats are strangers to the concept.

"Alito wants 10 year olds strip searched".
"Bush wants to pack the courts"
blaah blah blah

EXCELLENT analysis! Let's hope we see lots of 'clock cleaning' today...tear its innards apart, in fact. (and then put it back together without that loose screw named Teddy)

As for your next door neighbors, Hillary has trapped herself in another little box with her attempts to be all things to all people so she can't come out with any kind of definitive statement on Alito.

They are alternating hours, not speakers. Our side gets an hour, then they get one. This bloviation continues until a few minutes after 12 EST.

Kennedy says Senate would abdicate responsibility if merely looked at qualifications of nominee for Sup Ct.

Senators must see if judgments would be tainted by ideology.
