Leaky vs Hatch live on C-SPAN, dragging Judge Dennis Shedd through the political mud.

[Miss Marple]

Edwards looks decidedly unhappy.

[cinFLA]

Sen. Feinstein wants Black judge since 30% of district are Black.

[toenail]

She also notes that there are no black Senators. Fineswine, resign and let a black have your seat, then.

[rockinonritalin]

Which political party is obsessed with skin color and which one tries to look past skin color to the content of one's character? I forget.

[F-117A]

Sen. Feinstein wants Black judge since 30% of district are Black.

And just how did she vote on Clarence Thomas?

[Blood of Tyrants]

SSDD. They will scream and wail and lie and demonize and in the end they will lose.

Go ahead, fineswine, you are not enough of a shrill hag, shriek a little louder.

[toenail]

I, a Libertarian, don't care a lick for most Republicans, and the only reason I voted for Talent and prodded on a dozen friends and family to vote for him was of the Dim's absolute unreasonableness on judge confirmations. The recent election hasn't sunk in, it seems.

[freedom1st]

This is great. Hatch and Sessions are calling Edwards bluff on opposing Shedd.

[frmrda]

Jesus, Hatch is destroying Edwards. Edwards claimed no one won discrimination cases in front of Shedd. Hatch just specifically listed about 10 cases where that wasn't true. Smackdown!

[NautiNurse]

Edwards is such a loser!

Note the nervous smirk and twitch as he's banging his knuckles together.

[EllaMinnow]

Thanks for the heads-up. This is definitely MUST-SEE TV!

[syriacus]

Sen. Feinstein wants Black judge since 30% of district are Black.

Too bad Feinstein wasn't around to support and defend Clarence Thomas.

[SwinneySwitch]

Did Sen. Thurmond come back for this?

[rockinonritalin]

Sen. Dick Durbin voting no.

[freedom1st]

Now dirtbag Durbin from Ill. is on saying he can't support Shedd. The Demorats still don't get it. They are really destroying their party.

[EllaMinnow]

They ALL want to be on the record as saying NO.
You're right, they don't get it.

[VRWC_minion]

Shedds in but no vote recorded, except by request. The gutless weasels.

[rockinonritalin]

Voice vote taken in committee approving nomination. Democrats spoke up to make sure that their "no" vote was on the record (Durbin, Fienstein, others).
