OTHER LIVE LINKS
After watching Alito to this point, I don't think their strategy is going to work. He appears totally in control of himself.
They will have to find another place beyond that one too. Maybe there are decending levels of hell and Durbin will go to 800th level.
LMAO!
"It's HER again!"
And that would be the reason I never watch CNN.
Was just about to post the same thing. CNN has no shame.
Nobody in the USA watches CNN...so it doesn't matter.
I didn't hear Durbin actually use that language about the Supreme Court making law...
BUT, I have heard Biden on TWO occasions on Sunday Talk Shows actually SAY that the Supreme Court MAKES law. And he said that after bragging about teaching Constitutional Law classes....
LOL
Corslime is no longer a senator... I think he was sworn in as guv. But I could be wrong.
Yup. Sound bites for his constituents. Government by lie, distortion and innuendo.
AND HE'S GOT CHARTS!!!
There was a full service gas station in NJ that was busted by the cops. Apparently the term "full service" implied something else.
Brownback's got poster boards!
Sam has charts!
they either have caller ID or they recongize my voice..LOL
Who does?
You right.This is going to be a fight but he looks very ready.
The 'Rats are so out-of-their-minds angry at GWB for taking away the Senate, the White House, and the H of R from them that they have lost their political senses. It's like watching a particularly horrific car - gasoline truck wreck in slow motion.
Brownback
Oooh. Brownback bringing up the differences between Ginsburg and the justice she 'replaced'--Whizzer White. Good move!
