Confirmation Hearings are a FARCE......
Grandstanding Democrats and Kiss-Ass judges/and others who schmooze Alito's butt.

I give up, Alito will be confirmed. And he WILL pay these suck-ups back somehow.

On a brighter note, I'm still and always be a Dem, we just need to cull the herd in Congress?!? Hello, 2006 !

1. I would love to see some new blood on the judiciary committee

Barack Obama instead of Joe Biden, for example.

2. I'd like to see "Constitutional" lawyers
question these *lifetime* appointments :)

With all due respect to the Dems on the Judicial Committee, they suck.

3. Even though it is a joke I think they have shown that Alito
possesses a third rate legal mind and was elevated to his present position by kissing the asses of those with power.

He is also obvious he is lying about his involvment with CAP. I'm hoping the Dems come up with something from his past to shove right up his ass.

4. I agree, but unfortunately,
..nobody I know is paying attention to these hearings, from the mainstream left or right.

So sad :(

5. That's what Biden was saying
He and Feingold know Scalito's being coached so as to appear moderate. If Scalito didn't have anything to hide from the American people, he wouldn't need such coaching as to render the hearings a farce.

7. Sometimes I just HATE politics :(
My fault...just have too much time on my hands AND 24/7 newsie channels available. 88% of my friends, libs and pugs, have no clue what's going on in "our world". thus, my angst.

Thank gawd for DU :grouphug:
