Judge Samuel Alito needs to be fitted for his robe. I watched every minute of this great civics lesson. It was a not-so-valiant effort on Schumer, Biden, and Kennedy's part to throw out the racist, biggot, homophobe, woman hater cards... it's old and tired. I would have thought that they were better prepared to discuss real issues. Who is Ted Kennedy to question someone's distant past? Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment... The highlight for me was Alito handing Feinstein her ass... don't miss the reruns.  ...and of course Arlen correcting Kennedy on Judiciary Committee procedure. I only wish the committee would let the Dem's have the michrophone for a MONTH! I'M BACK!  -RBH |

Alito is a local, and is NOT appreciated by his fellow advisors.
I already sent in my petition to the Senators to have Alito NOT confirmed. I know that's fruitless, but even so I made my voice heard

We have once again managed to hold off the liberal horde... We've turned the court in the conservative direction, and set the liberal movement back ... I dunno... a decade... decade and a half?
I guess that's what happens when you win elections. ;D

If anyone out there calls themselves a Democrat they should be ashamed of their party's leadership. I watched quite a bit of the proceedings, and followed all the news stories from all of the major news channels, and you had this smart, reasonable gentleman being badgered and vilified by a bunch of polical hacks. It totally backfired. Kennedy is a pitiful two faced human being in my book. It was incredbly amusing to see Specter and him going at it.   My Computer doesn't duplicate everything I write when I punch in a smiley!!! OMG!!! |

Sorry if I offend anyone here, but anyone who calls themselves a Democrat or a Republican should be ashamed period.
The leadership on both sides is abismal at best.

Anyone calling themselves a Democrat should be ACTIVE, not just an armchair worrier.
Anyone calling themselves a Republican should put a loaded gun to their head and pull the trigger

I'm no longer a fan.
The guy is a devoted statist. Reality turned out different than I expected.

I often align myself with the Dems (though I would never call myself one), and even I am ashamed of their leadership. As much as I disagree with damn near everything the Republican party stands for and how it handles many things, I gotta laude it for how well-organized it is.
I grew up near Sugarland. And Tom DeLay's gone down. That makes me so happy. The Texas upper class are generally very yucky people. <i>Very</i> yucky people.
