This may be a quick thread. Witnesses are due next. We will continue until the site goes down for maintenance. Oh, and Sessions is an ass. cspan link: http://www.cspan.org/Watch/C-SPAN3_rm.aspxlink to thread 1: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6079926&mesg_id=6079926They are in a break now, they will return after a short break.

I knew he was dyslexic and thats why I didn't say anything about him using his finger to read along.. but does being dyslexic have anything to do with memorizing a speech. I am not aware of anyone that I know who is dyslexic so I am not sure on how it effects their learning besides reading.. tia for any info :)

Painting Sotomayor as the worst person on the face of the earth.

:puke: Linda Chavez is an American conservative author, commentator, and radio talk show host. She is also a Fox News analyst, Chairman of the Center for Equal Opportunity, has a syndicated column that appears in newspapers nationwide each week, and sits on the Board of Directors of two Fortune 1000 companies: Pilgrims Pride and ABM Industries Inc. Chavez was the highest-ranking woman in President Ronald Reagan's White House, and was the first Latina ever nominated to the United States Cabinet.

Linda Chavez Is Still Seeking Revenge Ever Since she was dumped as a potential cabinet member in the Reagan Administration after she was found to hire slave labor and then not pay taxes.
She is a disgrace to America.

She's essentially saying that if Sotomayor is confirmed, she'll make all pregnant women have abortions, and will prevent minors from talking to their parents abou it, if they are pregnant. (My interpretation of her idiotic prattling.)

49. Well, after listening for 4 days, I have come to this conclusion... |
|
The key 'concerns' of the republicans are:
First and foremost, the oppression of the white male
followed by:
guns gays the right to dictate what woman may or may not do with their own bodies aka anti-choice
In summation, the repubs and their sycophantic followers have FAILED miserably and that is a GOOD, a VERY GOOD thing, imo.
