Anybody else get the feeling something else might be going on

[texpatriot2004]

with this hearing? Just a hunch.

[shraby]

1. I haven't been watching it,

what do you mean?

[texpatriot2004]

3. I just think there might be a subtext under the text. It's as if there is

some other issue emerging.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

7. Oh, I'll agree with you there!

I've definitely seen some undercurrent going on here- there's a lot of politicial issues bubbling to the surface here.

[texpatriot2004]

13. Indeed, but it's not the typical R v D partisan crap it's got

SUBSTANCE!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

2. What kind of "something else?"

great speech by Leahy, btw!

[texpatriot2004]

4. Here, here. Bravo Leahy! n/t

[texpatriot2004]

5. Um something HISTORICAL. n/t

[ClassWarrior]

6. Quit being so oblique, tex! Out with it!

Especially for those of us who aren't watching. What do you think is up?

NGU.

[texpatriot2004]

8. To be blunt, it seems like some official, formal uprising; there is

more going on in this hearing than the usual drivel about the nominee.

[mzteris]

9. aaaaaagggggggghhhhh

Who is saying WHAT?

[texpatriot2004]

11. Right now Orrin Hatch is speaking, but not the usual bullshit that

falls out of his mouth. Also, Specter seems to be downright open. Of course, Leahy was great.

[Guaranteed]

17. Kennedy's giving Roberts a look while he's speaking...

about civil rights. :)

[texpatriot2004]

10. Very nice to see you ClassWarrior on this historical day.

:hi:

[ClassWarrior]

15. Same to you my Tejas friend...

:hi:

I'm steeped in work, so I'm going to have to rely on the reports of good DUers such as yourself to follow these historic Judge Stepford hearings.

B-)

NGU.

[texpatriot2004]

19. NGU NEVER EVER EVER

:patriot:

[cbear70]

12. I hope so!!

but I am afraid to watch..haven't had the news on for days.. can't take the spin...will just read DU

[texpatriot2004]

14. The Senators keep mentioning the historical import of the room

where this hearing is being held.

[texpatriot2004]

16. Holy smokes they just mentioned the "V" word...VOTES. n/t

[texpatriot2004]

18. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" said Kennedy n/t

[babylonsister]

20. Is it normal for spouses and family members to be present?

I don't mean Roberts' kin, but the senators'.

[texpatriot2004]

21. Wow some Republican, talking about a "true Justice"

regardless of party, ideology, etc. And something about Roberts being a, I can't remember the word, something like casualty of what is going on now in our political system...WOW!

[texpatriot2004]

24. Biden is on fire. Go Sen. Biden. n/t

[babylonsister]

22. Grassley getting darned defensive so early in the game, IMO.

Lighten up; it's going to be a longggg haul!

[cbear70]

23. he makes me sick

hate that he is my senator...ugggg

[Stinky The Clown]

25. Biden now ...... good ... no GREAT rhetoric .... but ......

... that's ALL MR. Credit Cards is capable of.

"Discrimination wasn't mentioned in the Constitution" was one fo the better ones. He was tough and spoke strongly to Roberts' past 'memos'.

But I have little to no faith in Biden's fidelity to what a Dem should stand for.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

27. Eh, he did a good job.

Let's see what happens from here...

[texpatriot2004]

26. (R) Kyl Arizona sounds like a puke so far. He said that

Rehnquist was a man of "great integrity" NOT!

[texpatriot2004]

28. Oh, here we go...Kyl should stop while he is ahead. n/t

[texpatriot2004]

30. I think Kyl should be held ACCOUNTABLE for this profound

BUSHIT...uh, bullshit.

[texpatriot2004]

29. Can anyone listening to this trash guess what side of good and

evil this puke is on?

[texpatriot2004]

31. I am getting the feeling that these blessed Rebels have the

high ground here and probably the legal one too.

[ClassWarrior]

32. Hey, is that Crabbe & Goyle sitting behind Sam Brownbutt (R-KS)??

:rofl:

NGU.
