(Washington - AP) — US Senator Jim Jeffords says he will oppose the nomination of Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court.

Jeffords says that while he believes Alito is qualified to serve on the court, he does not believe the country would be served by his judicial philosophy.

The independent senator says that he does not believe Alito fully appreciates the limits on the power of the presidency.

Jeffords votes as Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy or Abramoff's Indians tell him to vote. What an embarrassment that he was ever a RINO!

And still Alito will win. Making Jimbo that much more useless to the Dems. I forgot, what did the DIMs give Jim for all his troubles? What seat does he have on any committee? What resources will he get for his reelection campaign?

I'm A Loser (Lennon/McCartney)

I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Wonder if 'Jumpin Jim' consulted with Judge Cashman on constitutional issues before making his 'surprising' decision?

It is a sad day when Congress does not fully appreciate the limits on the power of Congress.

In the words of Gomer Pyle, "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!" People in VT oppose Judge Alito; we already knew that. VT is not what it once was.

Have you heard that the popular CO liberal Senator Ken Salazar said this week that Justice Thomas is "an abomination"?

Do you mean that the popular Lamar Alexander is undecided? Now, that's odd, considering that he served in the first Bush administration.

What is your take on the overall intelligence of VT people? Don't they claim to be the smartest state in the Union?

I also think Becks lyrics would be fitting for Jeffords.
