Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. yesterday appeared headed for confirmation to the Supreme Court after Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats exhausted their arsenal of questions without landing any devastating blows....

"devastating blows..." they didn't land a punch at all.

Even my democrat MIL thought Alito was brilliant and her dems a bunch of crackpots. :)

And now a word from our REAL Sponsors of Free Speech

The Men and Women who serve,
and have served, our country
are the ones who make sure that
the Politicans and Judges are free to do their job.

We would not have a US Supreme Court
without the protection of the Military.

Politicans and Judges are safe
because of the Military who protect them.

TEST : Call your Senator or Congressman's office
AFTER 5 PM, or on the weekend.
IF you speak to an actual person, ask who's in charge today?

Now look up the phone number
of your local military base.
Call that number 24/7
and ask the live voice you get
to speak with the person in charge.

Send a Thank You while you enjoy your Freedom also.

Remind your mother-in-law that both FDR and JFK are dead, and it's okay for her to vote Republican.

OK, let's see what we've got.

Alito
Roberts
Scalia
Thomas

That's four firm constitutionalists (we hope). Is their a fifth justice that can be counted on?

Not yet, unfortunately. Let's hope that one of the wacky liberals retires very, very soon.

What a GREAT photo!

Counted on? No.
But Roberts impresses me as somebody who can be very persuasive, and so I hope that he will usually get Kennedy to see things rationally, and maybe he can occasionally bring one of the liberal activists around on this or that issue.

"What a GREAT photo!"

I am sure Alito has given that look to many opposing attorneys. I like to think that at that moment the pic was taken, Alito was thinking of NOW.

Hey, we'll take converts.....any way we get them!

Isn't that wizardress of liberal schpiel, what's her name? Ruth Buzzy?, knocking on death's door?

[karnage]

Maybe our wet dream will come true and we'll get JRB!

To quote Kryten from Red Dwarf: "Mnehhhhh, smug mode!"

[randita]

Kennedy's a bit to the right of O'Connor, but still is not that reliable in a pinch.

[nickcarraway]

Hopefully. I hope we can get JRB on the Court, because she is very influential.

The fact of Alito's confirmation will keep Darth Vader Goonsburg on the bench till she keels over.
