LIVE THREAD: Day ONE - Senate debate on nomination of Samuel Alito to SCOTUS: C-span 2; 9:30 am EST

C-span

[rwa265]

Yes, it is. They are in a quorum call.

[altura]

Yeah, right. Bush is sticking it to the man...wait, as the commercial goes, You are the man.

Oh.

[Txsleuth]

Ask Tony Snow about Susan wanting to be full time...

He knows of an incident that got her banished from his Saturday show...

When she was HAPPY and said so...that during the preceding week, there were a lot of American deaths in Iraq...

This was during the POTUS campaign...and she was ecstatic that this would "play into the dems hands"....

Tony was NOT happy with her for saying that...and when they came back from a commercial...just Tony and Rich Galen were left...Susan..GONE!

I wonder if they CAN do a makeover of one's vocal chords to make the voice softer?

I hadn't thought of that. Maybe polyp removal can help.

[CDB]

Durbin is a liar. Durbin is a liar.

Liar, liar
Turban on fire.

[Cboldt]

... when does Sheets speak?

If they told us, C-SPAN2 ratings would go down the crapper until that time.

The way it is now, secret schedule, the public has to keep one ear on C-SPAN2 in order to be treated to the interesting parts, live.

What is going to be interesting is the reaction when more than 50 Senators are in favor, and when more than 95 Senators have made up their minds one way or the other. Cloture, as intended, is to keep debate open until the voter's mind is made up. It is cloture abouse to use cloture as a tool to -NOT- take the vote on the issue.

I got the feeling she's been offered something much more than in the past. I mean all that plastic surgery is one big hint.

[Primetimedonna]

Actually, I don't dislike her as much as many of the Dem commentators. She occasionally is reasonable, but then I think she gets the word from the Dim leaders, and next time she'll back down. As for Colmes, I think he has been getting more and more shrill as time goes on. It's almost like he knows what he's saying doesn't make sense, but since he has to say it he gets shrill.

[confederacy of dunces]

IMO Feingold should have been disciplined for this........

I absolutely agree with you.

[AliVeritas]

She's a good looking dem now... they can't have that. Have you seen the protesters lately? Not to mention others.

[oceanview]

the only TV show Estrich should be appear on is Nip/Tuck.

[AliVeritas]

For real.

[AliVeritas]

Oh yes...

[AliVeritas]

There you go... that'll do it.

[Primetimedonna]

Never heard that story! Wow! Can't believe she said it. I think many dems feel that way, but even they know better than to say such a thing! Good for Tony for booting her!!

[oceanview]

from some threads yesterday, Lamar Alexander and Ted Stevens were still not on record - have either of them spoken today?

[syriacus]

Whatever Susan paid for it....she got her money's worth.

She's got that Nancy Grace look about her.

[Txsleuth]

WOW...look at the faces of Schumer and Durbin....I think they have been watching JayZ's posse....to know how to look "BAD"

[AliVeritas]

What is Is there a problem with that for $200?
Just kidding... I know. He wouldn't do it anyway.

[American Quilter]

Even if George W doesn't get two more picks, a President Allen almost certainly would. :-)

Oh, the bliss!
