If the left always claims that the Constitution is "a living document," why are they so worried that a judge may vote to overturn a previous ruling?

Excellent question.

[saveliberty]

If he gives them what they want (stopping this nomination or at least bloodying it up) , they won't care about anything else.

[pillut48]

Bwahahahahaha!! The most brilliant deduction in this whole business! :-)

I actually have tears coming out of my eyes.

Subpeona The Gym Records NOW!

[jveritas]

Opportunities to attend the Limousine liberals cocktail parties.

Collect one red herring

They collected this fish almost 2 months but forgot to put it on ice.

[pollyannaish]

No, to drool on.

_{Thanks for setting that up so nicely.}

Subpoena the Gym! Subpoena the gym!!!

[ken5050]

Using the Dems' rational for going after these CAP records, during the RBG hearings, the GOP could have subpoenaed the ACLU membership list and all their records? Yup..that would have played well

[saveliberty]

 

because rules only apply to Republicans -- oops!

[andyland]

"Subpeona The Gym Records NOW!"

I agree. LOL!!

[SE Mom]

BTW- Has anyone else noticed Alito is ALSO not using any notes? I was stunned when Roberts didn't use them- but this is a double whammy- great intellects and grounding in these two men.

[retrokitten]

LMAO!

Geez, if he looks like that after going to this alleged "gym" imagine what he would look like if he didn't!

[bkepley]

Is Specter going to give the Committee more time because of these "important" records.

Looks like NOT. That will give the Dems a reason to vote against a man who is obviously qualified for the SC.

[Agrarian]

These bozos simply don't know what to do with someone who decides cases based on what the law says, and who knows the precedents like the back of his hand -- giving them due consideration.

In short, he is what a judge should be. Their nominees are ideologues who don't pay attention to the law itself, so they make the assumption that ours are just a conservative ideologue mirror image.

They just don't know how to deal with it.

[saveliberty]

LOL! Thank you and you're welcome! :-)

[FMBass]

They have liquor at this gym?

[pillut48]

No fair, you beat me--I was just imagining an aide showing up with the news that those documents were missing since Sandy had been there 'checking' them out! :-)

[rwa265]

"Specter should have been more wise in his answer to the DRUNK! Specter comes out of this with a small portion of egg on his face!"

I totally agree. Specter should have acknowledged that a letter might have been received but he didn't recall seeing it.

[You Dirty Rats]

Sens Joey and Teddy and Chuck
Are wallowing in all the muck.
Judge Alito they smear
Joe's boy isn't queer
they're wasting my time what the ... heck?
