Congratulations on Number 1500, Malcolm. We may never catch you. To answer your question, no, Alito was summoned BY the FAR right. Make him Commissioner of Baseball, but keep him and his lunatic anti-privacy views off our nation's Supreme Court! It ain't just a question of intelligence and qualifications... if it was, Clarence Thomas would've been laughed out of his hearing before any of us ever heard of Anita Hill.

Ah, I smell the blood of baby killers who are reaching for reasons to avoid speaking the truth; the fear that he may be the deciding vote to stop your blood-thirsty party from slaughtering millions more babies! ------------- And "Far Right"? - Oh yeah, what ever! Bush promised his voters that if he were elected, he would place a strong conservative there, and so he did. That is what sitting presidents get to do, did you expect him to kiss more liberal arse and pick someone from the left? Grow up! -----------Did you hear the whines and temper tantrums from the republicans when clinton nominated a women who was from the ACLU and stood for everything the republicans were against? The answer in case you do not know, is NO! They did not even try to ruin her life and her family and blast her on TV as everything unholy and wrong and evil... Because even though they were and are against what she believes in and stands for in her political views, she was well qualified for the job and the current president clingon, who was elected and expected to chose a person fitting to the demoncrat party did his job. Those two factors and the fact that the republicans respected the choice and her background experience and she got VERY FEW few 'no votes' and got in. But the republican party is a lot different than is the demoncrat party, especially these days. ============ They lose, they throw a three-year-old childish tantrum and they don't stop till they get their way. They don't care about qualifications, they only care about their party, adgenda (or lack thereof) and winning, even at the expense of the country and the people, (as they have and are proving nearly every day). It's not the "far right" as you claim it is, it's the republicans / conservatives who wanted this, not some way right wacko sector -or the republicans would not back him! See popular or not, they are decent people who would rather conduct business than to wallow in the abyss that they demoncrats love to wallow in so very much. He is being picked apart and currently is in the mists of what was suspose to be a question and answer period.... but as we all can see and hear, it's far from that.... It's a grandstanding for personal partisan politics from the blow hard ilk in the senate. cont

cont... They have their turn to ask questions and get honest answers, but rather than do that... what do they do? They give speeches for 15 to 17 minutes and most of those "questions" are not even questions, they are 'made for media' propaganda - they are hot air, they are from egocentric tantrum throwing mice of men, so far, who have aleady made up their minds and really do not care what he has to say to their non-question speeches! They are gulping up more media attention & trying to down a man again, attack & be the vial imps they are so good at being. ---------- Jealous is the word for you Michael and Malcom; your are right with those who have such an immature little mind that still, after well over a year - unable to handle pride. So, you attack as always, it's good food for the ego and you get to put off facing your nasty pride one more day! Most adults have tools to cope w/and deal w/pride & have long since done just that and have gone back to being normal accepting citizens who can funtion in life normally, something you both know little about. The top guys in the minority senate are still in that mode along with you, gosh but you should feel proud. Talk about "far this or far that" -- you two are so far left you think that some place in the center if even slightly republican is a 'far right' -- I am afraid you have lost all perspective w/your obsessions and that makes your opinions thwarted messes, not at all credible and terribly bias --- and as always, immature to the hilt! ---- Be that as it may, the man is qualified, he'd do a good job, certainly better than either of you 'experts' on the supreme court, every inch of politics, white house affairs and all aspects government! Keep up your grand partisan & bias parady snoozers cuz they are okay for laughs when one is bored stiff & feels the need to return to that 'grade school mentality feeling' for a whiile, you know... have memories of the second or third grade school yard bully - they can find it in most of your songs.... By the way, Happy New Year, (oh, I forgot, bitter little temper tantrum boys don't do happy, sorry!)

That's right you guys - take it from Linda - I don't know what the hell she said in her long-winded rant but you guys who aren't out humping your livestock are just so far removed from reality.

all I saw was the name linda and I immediately skipped the long winded rant. I've read too many of her's before;they make no sense either way boring!
