Who on earth do these congresspeople thing we give a damn about their opinion? They bloviate 24/7. Get on with the show already.
Lightning should strike Ted Kennedy for speaking of values to a judge. This fat hypocrite ran at break neck speed away from a crime, and then trying to look like a victim himself, he had the nerve to wear a neck brace in church.
Leahy was implying that the surveillance was illegal, not just outside of FISA.
Shut the Heck up Kennedy.
You're right....Kennedy's speech was probably written by Move-on.
Swimmer is deeply troubled.....I agree!
How is this guy even still breathing?
"Swimmer is deeply troubled"
That is a good thing.
Good Lord! How many "buzzwords" is the Orca going to use???
Godddddddddd! I want to kick this guy in the head!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable...Kennedy and Leahy are on rants about the president and his "ABUSE" of power...
God..I hate that we are reduced to these vile men as "the loyal opposition"...not having respect for the other side is depressing.
No way! Is this for real? A dog named "Splash"? Like the sound of a car hitting the water?
Rlated question;..does anyone have a link to any story on Eleanor Clift's column a few months ago, advising the Dems NOT to filabuster Alito, to wait for the NEXT nominee?
Kennedy - "Imperial Presidency"
Well...Kennedy just said that Bush pushes for torture and is spying on Americans...
The FACTS and TRUTH are no longer considered necessary???
Please scotch guard your foot before kicking!
Dad is here and I am putting him through listening to the swimmer... He agrees with your sentiment wholeheartedly!
Did you guys just hear how whale pronounced Alito??!!!
