Debate continues in the Senate today on the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. At present no time has been announced for a final vote. Stop by and discuss.

Math is not his strong suit then

Math?! Heck this is the pre-arithmatic concept of more and less.

"If so many Dems are out of the country..."

Out of the country, out of the mainstream, out of their minds...

[spectre]

Kerry might come out of this with Egg on his face.

I really hate him making an Ass out of himself, since I'm hoping he'll take the Presidential nomination away from Hillary..

I think he's going to issue some sort of a statement soon.

Finally! I looked for your thread this morning and thought maybe I was in the Twilight Zone.

BTW, I don't think I ever thanked you for starting all the live threads on this, or katieanna for filling today. Great job and many thanks.

Osama Obama up now. I have him muted so let me guess what he's saying.
Wah, wha wah.... Bush is evil, urinary executive, strip searching ten year old warrants. Alito hates blacks, whites, gays, women, girls, boys and the Pittsburgh Pirates and will vote to outlaw everything. You will die as soon as he's seated.

CNN Breaking News...Kerry wants a filibuster.

[newnhdad]

bring it on.

[Sacajaweau]

I am almost inclined to believe that Hillary will not show for the vote. Why? Because the tide is turning and there are lotsa Dems whose conscience has been awakened on the abortion issue. It's not just an "I wouldn't do it" moment, it's a "you simply can't kill" unless in self defense.

Kerry is such a political dunce...LOL!

[katieanna]

You're welcome, friend. Glad to do it and more happy that ken is ok!

[kjam22]

Carper to vote against Alito. Count 54 to 31

[dfwgator]

Kerry wants a filibuster.

And people in Hell want ice water.

[pillut48]

The second day of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting promised a blend of celebrity and brass tacks talk of the issues facing the global community, ranging from security against terror to advancing human rights and the struggle against poverty and disease.

OK, so how does it work when one person calls for a filibuster? Kerry's just trying to secure the nomination.

[pillut48]

Did Carper just say with all seriousness, we should not confirm a judge based simply on his qualifications???

[Dog]

Bingo....he is appealing to the moonbats.
