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.
This man should be PRESIDENT.
I would be fine with a President Coburn.
Did he say he is a physician? Would that be Dr. President Coburn or President Dr. Coburn. Either sounds good to me.
Mr. President, I now ask unanimous consent that the time from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. tonight be divided, with the time from 10 to 11 under the control of the majority leader or his designee, the time from 11 to noon under the control of the Democratic leader or his designee, with each hour rotating back and forth in that same manner. I further ask unanimous consent that on Thursday this same division occur, with the first hour from 10 to 11 under the control of the Democratic leader or his designee.
DiFi, Boxer and their ilk would not agree to allow him to continue to practice medicine during his tenure in the Senate so that he could keep current and make just enough to pay his malpractice insurance, just to spite him. It was disgusting.
"21 DEM yet to commit:
"Maybe they are in Kerry's office now, rubbing the belly of his Buddha, seeking inspiration."
Oh my. I just had a horrible vision in my mind of Teddy in his swimming trunks. Can you imagine rubbing that belly?
Yes, he is an OB/GYN. I am soooo serious about him as PRES.
I will make my voice heard at the RNC.
Corburn is quoting Reed of RI .. that the USSC is the Constitution
Maybe he could run on a ticket with Dr. Rice.
Then we would have "Two doctors, for the price of one." (To paraphrase WJC)
No-o-o-o-o!!
Oh, I missed it. Dang it.
WOO hoo !Just got here. Were over the top! Take that RATS!
Now, I really like the sound of that !!!
One pro-LIFE & one a non-militant pro-choice. Talk about a winning combo.
I have to follow along here because Dora the Explorer is currently on my TV and I would likely loose a limb if I try to change the channel.
I like Corburn .. he's a great asset to the Senate
From yesterday's thread:

Jack Reed has just handed the Republican Senators a mighty weapon for defending the Constitution against the Radical Left's assaults in these hearings. He quoted Justice Frankfurter's comment that ended with this phrase: ". . . the Court is the Constitution."
This is exactly the kind of thinking that has led us away from the principles embedded by the Founders in our written Constitution.
If the Constitution is the people's document, and if it--as it has been considered to be--is the protector of the people's liberty and rights, If the 9 unelected men, serving life terms on the Supreme Court, are our protection, then we do not live under the "rule of law," we live under "the rule of 9 men."
The "living constitution" school has advocated this kind of nonsense for recent decades, reflecting an idea one university professor proudly boasted was that "what we have is a 'sitting constitution.'" In other words, we have nine men who can, unconstitutionally, change the written constitution at will, instead of interpreting it in the sense that it was adopted. We must keep in mind that the Founders wrote into Article V of the Constitution itself the only legitimate means by which it could be changed, and that did not include a decision by any judge at any time.
As Orrin Hatch observed today, the Constitution's own process for amendment (change), as prescribed in Article V, involves "We, the People," through our elected representatives--not the judiciary.
Hopefully, some Republican Senator will correct Senator Reed's understanding of what the Court is supposed to be and, at the same time, educate some young people as to the dangers of the Radical Left's agenda for America.

Good hair to, if it's who I'm thinking of.
Any idea who that soldier in the pic is? He's a hottie!
what channel is Dora the Explorer on??
I like him too and wish I'd seen him. I have to leave shortly but will check in when I get back.
Any word on when they'll hold the real vote as opposed to this ridiculous graphic on C-Span?
