Thanks for the post. I couldn’t agree with you more.

I can not agree with you in 100% regarding some thoughts, but you got good point of view

I just wanted to write to say that you have a great site and a wonderful resource for all to share.

(A little poetic justice above ^) Its simple if Sam Alito is allowed to enter office, then we’re all doomed. Its obvious that this man should not allowed into office. He’s even flat out saying that he doesnt like answering questions. It sounds bad, but i think this is a conspiracy… Think about it, the president seems all to willing to allow Alito into office, need i not remined you that bush has strong ties* with the Sadi family, the president has managed to screw up our country by setting them back about 20 years. I know that every president has his faults but fault in this situation is an extream understatement. Also the ENTIRE republican side of the senate has showen thier support for Alito, the judges are letting him get by way to easy, it just seems to easy, and because this is Bush’s last year in office wouldn’t it be a wise choice to have someone in the supreme court? And you might say, “Well if someone was planning somthing why wouldn’t the president once in office just straight out and ruin everything or order money to a certain account?” Simply because it would be way to obvious. A slower or **Subtle** tact would be smarter. I know i probably sound CRAZY to you all, but im just throwing in my logic. But you can see for yourself, that Alito is way to full of himself, i know your soposed to not show weakness but hes treating this as if hes already court justice.

Matt, if you’re going to hold Ted Kennedy to those standards, you should also apply them to President Bush.

Both Bush (and his wife Laura) have definitely killed people. Laura ran a stop sign in Midland, Texas back in 1973 and killed another motorist. The poor SOB just happened to be her ex-boyfriend. Laura never even got a ticket, although she apparently never even slowed down before barreling through the intersection. George Bush, on the other hand, has caused the unnecessary deaths of some 2200 American service personnel in an illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq based on a tissue of lies about WMDs that have never been found.

On drunks: who is worse, Kennedy or Bush? I call that a draw, even though Kennedy does have one death that came as a result of his disregard for public safety while under the influence. Bush, who has at least two convictions for driving while intoxicated, should count himself lucky that, like Ted Kennedy, he didn’t drive off a bridge with someone in the car. There’s little doubt in my mind that given the same circumstances, Dubya would have gone home, taken a shower and slept off his drunk before calling his daddy’s lawyers to get him out of trouble, just as Kennedy did.

Finally, as for the ability to make coherent statements, surely you would agree that no one is more challenged in that area than President Bush. Without cuecards and an earpiece, he is the most ridiculously inept-sounding president of the past 100 years or more (maybe ever, but then again we don’t have audio recordings of earlier presidents).

Alito is a liar, a master of omission, and a political opportunist. He is only being considered for the Supreme Court because he is anti-choice, elitist, bigoted, and a GOP lackey who has kissed ass for at least the last twenty years and is now getting his reward. That’s how the system works and he will probably be confirmed.

Compared to Bush’s last nominee, Harreit Miers, Alito looks like a shoe-in. Aren’t you bothered that your president, who could make such an idiotic choice as Miers for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land, now expects the US Senate to rush his latest nominee through the process without being challenged to explain his lack of ethics, membership in questionable orgs like CAP, or even answer pertinent questions about issues like a woman’s right to control her own body?

Alito is the kind of guy who most reasonable people want to punch in the mouth.

They don’t know exactly why they want to punch him in the mouth, they just do. :D

The three-legged pedestal on which or system of goverment rests is about to become bipedal, with the Executive wielding virtually dictatorial power (the head) and the Legislative and Judicial sharing the rubber-stamping authority (the ass).

Welcome to the Fascist State of America!

My goodness I thought the guy was gonna dive under Alito’s table and do him right there in front of his Alito’s) wife (Mona Lisa) and everybody…yeccch!

Blind Tripper,

I can see it now:

Schumer:

Judge Alito can you tell us in your own words as candidly and forthright as possible what kind of Supreme Court justice you would be?

scandalAlito:

Yes Senator. First of all- no matter where we are- I’d prostrate myself in the presence of the awesome power of my lord and master George W. Bush (or whomever the right wing neoconservative god happened to beat the time)…

Since Roe v Wade is an abomination and against my strict roman catholic upbringing i’d tear it apart piece by sorry, immoral piece…

Blacks, hispanics, and other minorities don’t belong amongst us good white people of Italian, French, German, Irish, Polish, Russian, and Lithuanian descent. I’d vote to kill any and all programs meant to ‘level’ the playing field or redress any “mythical” wrongs heaped upon minoroties because of slavery, which by the way was blown way out of proportion. What do they need to go to college for anyway, they’ll just take up space… My daddy came here as an immigrant fro italy and he didn’t feel slighted when he had to work in the pizzaria of his cousin Vito for seven years…

blah…blah…blah…
