[saveliberty]

:-) Good morning, Miss Marple!

[syriacus]

You can see it in their faces....they are like- "Oh crapt, now what do I do....

They seemed to be saying "I see. All right. Now I'll move on to my next question" more quickly, and more often than usual.

Sometimes they use that as a tactic to prevent the nominee from answering a question. With Alito they seem to use it more often to escape a tight spot.

I will think of you, but I can't watch either :-(

Have a great day!

"Freeper" is the lefts way of denigrating someone on the right, akin to a the rights use of "moonbat".

Leahy: "Ted, I think we're losing.........."

Kennedy: "Shut up Pat and go tell Chuck to wave around his Constitution around some more!"

[backinthefold]

The big question is, will Joe Biden ask a question?

He was just scary with that Joker-like smile yesterday.

Hi, frantically looking for a tape, to tape the hearings, LOL. Last one had the Inaugural on it, can't tape over that!

[tiredoflaundry]

Because of the way he talked about family values

Family Values!!! OH NO!

[Schumer] is the smartest that the Dems have on that Committee.

And best attack dog they have, too.

[hershey]

NPR waved the white flag the other day, saying Alito was hard to defeat...child of hard working immigrants -- that $50 scholarship from a kind, anonymous donor meant his father went to college, New Jersey accent, slightly rumpled, cool under questioning, formidable record.

Maybe I missed something, but the most important SJC issue I believe is Kelo vs New London, yet I haven't heard a word about it in the hearings. All I hear about is abortion and affirmative action. And, as a white male it sickened me to hear Senator Leahy pine about how he wished for a "diversity pick". It's pathetic that the religious right, the pro-abortion feminists and the race pimps are a higher priority than the real people issues like Kelo.

Schumer was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn. He attended public schools in Brooklyn and continued his education at Harvard College and Harvard Law School. Soon after graduating from Harvard, he was elected to the New York State Assembly, where he served three terms.

[You Dirty Rats]

While working out this morning I watched Paul Begala and James Carville w/ Katie Couric (nice balance, eh?) Absolutely freaking hilarious!! The 'Rats "dynamic duo" both admitted Alito was going to get confirmed. They distorted what happened at the hearings pretty severely, but it's clear that the 'Rats are out of ideas.

So these two geniuses were also plugging their book, which states that the 'Rats should abandon ideas as unimportant (i.e. they have none) and just grow a spine and fight -- for what, they don't seen to care.

Katie also played Jay Leno's clip from last night, where Jay mentioned the 'Rats are concerned about the Endangered Species Act becuase they are on it! Katie mouthed the conventional wisdom on the Left, which is that the 'Rats are getting their butts kicked. The boo-birds have come out on the Left!!

Wasn't 2006 supposed to be the year the 'Rats took over Congress?? LOLOLOL!!!!! LOSERS!!!

[Txsleuth]

I hadn't heard anything about the dems canceling todays session...where/when did you hear that?
