For some reason, I hear 'The Ride of the Valkiri' [sic] and 'Dance of the Furies' at the same time right now. Hadn't heard either tune in a while. But this is a major day. If we can counter-attack the way Ingraham, Rush, and [last but not least] Savage want to, and bring up all the goofiness of Ginsberg, this could be the equivalent of Yorktown.

All that former happiness by Reid and Schumer is completely reversed. Very good sign. =]

Why do so few people know how babies are made?

THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS THERE! BEFORE CONCEPTION!

Bush did really well here. I only hope that RBG and Luttig are off the bench in the next couple of years. Talk about changing the course of history .. Bush could make 4-5 SC appointments?

Of course knowing the democrats, the MIUNTE they get control of the executive they would increase the SC positions to 15 and repack the court with their own.

I'm listening to C-Span, and all the commentary/drivel from the public and pundits. And I have a thought. Tell me what you think.

President Bush has gone 5 years keeping his office above the fray, trying to bring back honor to the position of President. And he's had enough!!

After being screwed over or tricked by the CIA regarding info on WMD's and Iraq, aftr trying to 'play nice' with the Dems, and getting back stabbed by them and RINO's, after the attack on close friend Karl Rove and the Miers backlash,the complicity of the MSM with the enemy, both foreign and domestic, President George W. Bush has had enough!

Enter Judge Sam Alito! In your face!

[airborne]

This is a media flare.

DANGER! DANGER!

(POTENTIALLY) FIVE CATHOLICS ON THE SUPREME COURT BENCH!

Yeah, they are freaking out for sure!

[kjam22]

Now if RBG will just retire....

After seeing this nomination.. there is no way she'll retire while GWB is doing the nominating. This is a very good nomination.

In the immortal words of Meg Ryan (sally);

"YES, YES, OHOOOYES! yes YES!"

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I voiced that hope yesterday. This Scooter Libby witch hunt has got to tick the Bush Team off like nothing else ever did.

[airborne]

I know one thing for certain.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

"After seeing this nomination.. there is no way she'll retire while GWB is doing the nominating."

Good point. She'll be fighting free radicals in a way Mr. Bond never did. She'll drink grape juice, remove her chicken skins, religiously take an aspirin a day, and all that.

[1Old Pro]

Alito has been to the right of the centrist swing voter he would replace. As a result, legal analysts across the spectrum saw the Alito appointment yesterday as a bid by President Bush to tilt the court, currently evenly divided between left and right, in a conservative direction.

FANTASTIC!!! I can't wait to replace Stevens and Buzzy and reshape the court for DECADES.

[ErnBatavia]

I don't understand how the 'Rats can apparently control delaying the hearings; they don't want them until January, keeping O'Connor there that much longer.

[no dems]

Waaaaaaaahooooooo. I FEEL GOOD!!!

"...in 1 - 3 years, the Liberals will have a aneurysm, and be moving out of this country in masses ( that's a GOOD THING )."

From your lips to God's ears.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

God bless you. It is possible for a political party to land the other party's leaders in jail and take over a country that way. The more unenforced laws we have on the books, the more possible that becomes. I've been warning conservatives about this for years. Any successes they have today will lead to a feeding frenzy in the future.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

If I'm not mistaken, Spectre is pro-choice, which would explain his outrage over Miers. Spectre, Miers, Bush... quite a circle there. Thank God conservatives spoke out!

[airborne]

So, for all you FReepers out there who have been so energetic online in your objections to Hariet Miers, now is the time to object in person!!!

Don't let us loose the high ground!! Press the advantage!!

FOR AMERICA !!!

CHARGE!!!
