1. Coburn's stuck on the rights of reproductive choice for women

He'd love to overturn Roe.

[CottonBear]

12. Coburn would love to practice his love on women all over America.

:sarcasm:

[Surya Gayatri]

17. LOL!!!

Is he an OB/GYN?:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[CottonBear]

19. I believe so. He wanted to practice and serve in the senate

which is illegal but he tried to get permission...all I can think is that he misses practicing his love...I'm just saying...;)

[Debau2005]

2. I hope Coburn burns in a fiery hell....

According to him women want an abortion because of CONVENIENCE...Sorry ass.....Sorry I feel the need to scream!

[CottonBear]

14. He can burn after suffering from terminal syphillis here on earth. n/t

[adigal]

3. He's a sick bastard

I bet you his girlfriend (snark!) has had an abortion, provided by him. He is way too guilty over something.

[realFedUp]

4. Coburn hopes Alito will be confirmed....

talks about his heart and soul...yeah, another good
man to overturn rights under the law

[oldtime dfl_er]

7. sometimes it's hard to be a pacifist

when confronted with lunatics like him.

[realFedUp]

10. Fortunately more people support reproductive freedom

A greater percentage of people in this country
polled support a woman's right to her reproductive
health and financial future.

[radio4progressives]

31. I've had to admit that I am no longer a Pacifist,

as much as i have aspired to be or even self identified as being -

these lunatics make me want to go war with these freaking bastards.

at some point today in the course of the bantering back and forth on the question of "settled law" and "thank god" starre desises (sp?) isn't operable with every single statute or every single thing in the Constitution, I almost imagined that the one thing that would make Roe "settled" and the Establishment clause as "settled" would be to have another civil war - i think that might likely to happen in this country down the road, now that Scalito will be confirmed.

it's too bad the Dems won't filibuster this one.

editing for a bit more clarity.. ;)

[realFedUp]

5. Not too many questions from the right...just re-enforcing Alito

[Greybnk48]

6. I hope a Dem on the panel fact checks what he has said

because I don't think any of it is accurate. I'm pretty sure everything he said, including his numbers, is wrong.

[realFedUp]

8. Leahy suggests continuing a few questions in the am...

says the strain has been hard on the family
members.

[helderheid]

9. he's a sweety

[helderheid]

11. which one is his wife?

[realFedUp]

13. Arlen Specter ends the day....continuing tomorrow. Adios all.

[Dinger]

15. CALL C-SPAN DUers: 1-202-585-3885

If I get on, I'll be the one saying: MARGIE SCHOEDINGER

[helderheid]

16. or 3886 ;) (KIDDING!!)

:)

[Dinger]

18. Okee Dokee - Kopeckne Again - MARGIE SCHOEDINGER nt

Hammer away!

[Mind_your_head]

22. Dinger, I still wish someone would supply the name of the young man

Laura Bush killed in a car accident.

Margie Schoedinger is kind of 'out there' for a lot of people. Most people don't know about Laura Bush's traffic accident - and THAT is actually FACT.

[CottonBear]

24. Was Margie Joe Scarborough's intern who died? n/t

[CornField]

26. Margie was a black woman who filed rape charges against Bush

She was subsequently found with a bullet hole in her head, the event ruled a suicide.

[CottonBear]

28. Holy cow! I never heard about that. :( n/t

[helderheid]

33. WOAH!! I hadn't heard that before!!!

[Dinger]

35. Court Docs Are Online . . . .

At least I hope they still are.

[helderheid]

41. found em

http://ccweb.co.fort-bend.tx.us/docdetail.asp?id=%0BNDQTCsb%03%21S%21augDM0k%21Kc3O&ms=0&cabinet=civil&pg=&id2=y8yMDAgQU0%3Dd%1FMTIvMOkHOw%21IeaqTZTg6MzQ%21sEvU%03yIDk6N

and notice this article - written before the "suicide" - it mentions concern for her physical safety and the fear of a "suicide":

http://www.americanpolitics.com/20030724Thoreau.html

[Dinger]

45. Yes!

I heard and read about this woman before she was murdereed, and when i saw, in Sept. 2003, that she was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head, it was obvious what the real story was.

[helderheid]

47. Scary scary shit!

[Dinger]

36. Fort Bend Star:

http://www.independent-media.tv/item.cfm?fmedia_id=3710&fcategory_desc=The%20Bush%20Crime%20Family

[helderheid]

42. freaky. Says something about her husband perhaps had been raped too - is

he still alive?

[Dinger]

44. He's Been Paid Very Well (nt)

[helderheid]

46. Has he? Or are you being sarcastic - I've not had my coffee yet :)

[Dinger]

38. Lori Klaustits

Found dead in Joey's office, blunt force trauma I think. I'm not even sure there was an investigation.

[Dinger]

29. Excuse Me, But What The Hell Is The Problem?

Why do people cast this story aside? Was she mentally ill? If so, it makes bu$h's rape and murder of her that much worse, if that's possible. Her husband, who was there at the time is alive yet, unless he has been "suicided" too. Fort Bend Dtar and Houston Chronicle had articles on this. This story actually happened, whether Dems or whoever, are too scared to touch it or not. I swear people are AFRAID of it. Too hot to handle. Oh well, let it go. Who cares? bu$h would have never did anything like this anyway, right? I think Christopher Schoedinger was paid dearly to keep quiet. I know some people from the area that say that's exactly what happened.
I hope the name of the person Laura murdered (birds of a feather . . ) pops up,a nd I think it will. Sorry to say that I don't know what it is. Good luck. I hope you find out.

[Mind_your_head]

40. It's 'cast aside' b/c not much can be proven about the story

(i.e., the rape, the bush connection, etc.). The only real fact is that she's dead and she made a claim. One could imagine that if the story were true, perhaps it played out this way by someone's evil design.

If it's not true it's a sad sad story, if it's true it's heinous any way you look at it.

I just don't see anyone (or any agency) picking up on this story and looking for more info one way or the other....so it won't go anywhere. There are a lot better/more productive and PROVEN avenues to follow (and even using THOSE people are having a hard time getting it across to the general population out there).

[txindy]

30. Here you go: It was Michael Douglas. He was 17 at the time.

According to the two-page accident report, Laura Welch was driving her Chevrolet sedan on a clear night shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, 1963, when she drove into an intersection and struck a Corvair sedan driven by 17-year-old Michael Douglas.

Although previous news accounts have reported Douglas was thrown from the car and broke his neck, those details were not in the report.

Scroll down the page here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/e1698.htm

[Mind_your_head]

37. Thank you for the info.....I won't forget it now

It's actually a pretty easy name to remember (b/c the famous actor has the same name).

[CottonBear]

20. Repubs angry that Dems ask same questions over and over

without bothering to mention that Alito didn't answer any questions.

[LSK]

21. still waiting for even ONE Republican question....

[CottonBear]

23. Spector: "he has great stamina and is very patient" NOT n/t

[Debau2005]

25. Spector

just said that the papers are being read now! He is available all night if they find something.

[CottonBear]

27. Check out my thread on the papers: I have a link to Library of Congress

collection and I actually spoke with a gov't librarian at UGA who contacted the LoC and she sent me info and links. The papers are sealed and can only be viewed with author's permission. The librarian did not know about senate subpenas though. In any case, they're looking at them now!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x111455

[Mind_your_head]

32. Who else besides me thinks it's WRONG for ANY of the Senators

to say which way their support will go BEFORE ALL OF THE ALITO PROCEEDINGS ARE FINISHED? Isn't that what this whole process is about? For the Commission to ask questions, listen for answers, and THEN decide?

How come so many of the Repub Senators are ALREADY telling Alito to his face, that he will get confirmed? How are they so sure? I think the senators who say such things just point up what a sham this whole process could be/is.

They're indicating that they've already made up their minds before all of the information is "out there".

Interesting that Senator Kyl (R-AZ) mentioned something in his monologue to Alito about how Alito shouldn't do such a thing, yet that's EXACTLY what Kyl's fellow senators are doing!

[CottonBear]

34. Republicans are slimy, smarmy hypocrites. 'nuff said. n/t

[Dinger]

39. That Fucking Ed Henry & Wolfie

I am nuclear pissed!:nuke: :grr:

[Sydnie]

43. Hey Viva -- Is this over for the day?

I jsut got home and I see the rerun already started on C-Span. I see I missed quite the day today!

Am I to understand that they DID get the papers about CAP and are going through them now?

I hate when I miss the good stuff!
