The Dems got to prove what jack-asses they are in front of millions of viewers.

Hope we win over some more converts.

There is an African American former judge who described himself as militant on civil rights matters and unwaveringly pro-choice testifying now before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

He is testifying in favor of Judge Alito and his fairness. He said he often did not agree with him but has no problems with Alito and thinks he would be a great Supreme Court Justice.

"The conservative group opposed affirmative-action and lower admission standards"

Oh, that's what it was.

Odd how the news coverage twisted this into racism.

"the Kennedy-Schumer-Durbin-Biden-Leahy cabal"

Shouldn't that be "kibble?"

It a shame that will never see Kennedy-Schumer-Durbin-Biden-Leahy up on the rack like Judge Alito was.

If I was a black person, I would be plenty steamed that the phrase "lower admission standards" is a synonym for admitting more blacks.
Besides, getting into college isn't as important as graduating from college. Studies show that lower admission standards put kids in positions in which they don't succeed. Many accepted into schools like Berkeley would have been better off starting at a junior college.

"...after she endured watching the man she knew and loved smeared by a bunch of less-than-honorable men."

And every political geek I know was watching.

I thought long and hard about that. If anyone had smeared MY husband in public like that, I would've reacted the same way...and I'm one tough cookie! And I would've also been brought to tears by the apology as well. (Fine! I'm a little soft in the middle of my 'tough cookie' routine.)

What an absolute abomination of our system this has become. What an embarassment for the Dims.

But, some good will come of this. Every day, in many ways, the Dims prove to us that liberalism is a mental disease.

Or students who need help should repeat a year of school or go to summer school.

Putting a kid into colege who is not ready will often end his education.

It would be allot better to be a "PG" at another high school to learn how to read, write, and do math.

I was hoping that Mr. Sam would enter the hearing this morning to the music of The Godfather.

Your telling me.

That person that flunks out will be bitter about it for the rest of his/her life and will be more likely to subscribe to the Democratic oath, "You can't make it on your own."

Sadly enough, the so called black leadership, has demanded the standards be lowered to admit more minorities to university.

Most schools now have a two tier system of classes which segregate the brightest students and allow those less qualified to take much easier classes.

The Democrats are behaving more and more like the communists they love. The enemy within is legion. How is our country going to survive?

The truly pathetic thing about the cabal of 5 is they truly don't think they've done anything wrong. That just shoes how far they're gone, they've forgotten the basics of decency.

They are simply acting upon their root faith, that it is a crime to disagree with them, and all their political opponents are loathsome monsters.
