Alito Nomination Goes to Full Senate
AP - 36 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - The Judiciary Committee favorably recommended Samuel Alito's Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate on a party-line vote Tuesday, ensuring prospects the conservative jurist will join the high court bench. All 10 Republicans voted for Alito, while all eight Democrats voted against him. The partisan vote was almost preordained, with 15 of the 18 senators announcing their votes even before the committee's session began.

1. my value isn't the party line

it's voting for what's right, and that ain't Alito.

I give them an A+ for not voting for one more goddamned nazi general in this nazi "constitutional" monarchy.

3. when I wrote "party line" was short for "all dems voted together on

the right side of the issue."

But you are right about the significance of the vote.

2. A+

It's a no brainer.

4. people should vote this up, then send it to them.

5. Democrat is not an adjective.

Apologize.

[yurbud]

15. you didn't say please or refer to me by my honorific "your most holy

and well endowed grace"

[mattclearing]

16. When you refer to the Democratic Party the same way Tom DeLay does,

I don't have to. ;)

[yurbud]

17. it's when they stop referring to it at all that you should be worried.

6. A - A+ will be for the one who starts a filibuster. \nt

7. I'm thinking the extra week wasn't for this. It was for the Senate.

Keeping my fingers crossed they have some media bombshell they are going to deliver like some people will come in and testify that Alito told them that when he gets on the court he will personally outlaw abortion.

[yurbud]

9. or an old girlfriend he took to an abortion clinic...

8. Oy...hubby had MSNBC on in his office...

and while I was trying so hard not to let it affect me....Man...do they do a number on the 'news'. I don't know how people watch without getting severely depressed. Trying to think good thoughts here....

[yurbud]

10. what did they say?

[stillcool]

11. Not anything worth taxing my memory...

but the residual effect was the performance by Norah O'Donell, apparently the 'go to gal', giggling at Lindsay Graham's 'clean their clocks' quip, he used referring to the dems...and she was insistant that the dems didn't have the votes for a filibuster...it is just so obviously an attempt to provide perception, and undermine any seriousness to the reality.

12. No such thing as "Democrat" party. It's Democratic.

No more excuses for this. "Democrat party" is a RW, Mehlman smear.

[Deja Q]

13. Enough with petty semantics; the republicanic party loves that.

:crazy:

(don't take that personally; lots of people have a hang-up over this "issue" and, quite frankly, there are infinitely more worthy things to discuss...)

[mattclearing]

18. Yes, there are. Do you think I like being the grammar police?

The second people stop saying it, I will stop correcting them.

[yurbud]

21. the Patriot Act gives Grammar Police random cavity search powers

please wear gloves and lube your fingers first--I get the roids real bad.

[Gold Metal Flake]

22. Republicans created the epithet. It's use helps them.

People should know, and use, the proper name of our political party. No excuse for using the RW smear.

[yurbud]

14. I meant the Demolicious party.

[WI_DEM]

19. Obviously A+ since they all voted against him

now lets see if they will filibuster.

[bryant69]

20. You gotta knock them down a few marks for how they messed

up the hearings. In my opinion.
