J-Committee Vote 10-8

[archangel]

R-10 D-8
Nomination for Judge Alito goes to the floor tomorrow...expected confirmation by the end of the week!
Watching the no votes was comical....Teddy and Diane(Frankenstein) had the biggest frowns along with Leahy!

Looks like this is probably going to stay along party lines. Not sure if the Dems will try to filibuster, but if they do they should be made to do it the old fashioned way.

Saw Fienstien after the vote. She was going through the motions and bitching about how this would move the Supreme Court to the right. Funny how there didn't seem to be a problem when it moved to the left years ago.

from the Dem ranks. The Dems will suffer imolation rather than abandon their Holy Grail of abortion. Their passion for the killing of the innocent is as grisly a political position as any in American history. To the Dems, because of their allegiance to left wing abortion support groups, to lose the right to kill would be political suicide. In their blind, unthinking, quasi-morality, they have dug their own political graves. What a sad state the Dems are in.

What I find most amusing is the crap from the left -- a vote for Alito is a vote to overturn Roe v Wade.

Has anyone from the right other than anti-abortion extremists suggested it?

The Second Time as Farce

"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back alley abortions, blacks would sit in segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of million of citizens."--Ted Kennedy*, July 1, 1987

"Perhaps Prof. Liu put it best, of the Berkeley law school, when he wrote this: He said, Judge Alito's record envisions an America where police may shoot and kill an unarmed boy to stop him from running away with a stolen purse; where federal agents point guns at ordinary citizens during a raid, even after no sign of resistance; where the FBI may install a camera where you sleep on the promise that they won't turn it on unless the informant is in the room; where a black man may be sentenced to death by an all-white jury for killing a white man absent any kind of multiple regression analysis or other analysis of potential discrimination; and where police may search--I paraphrased that last sentence; it reads precisely 'absent a multiple regression analysis showing discrimination'--and where police may search what a warrant, may search and define what a warrant permits and then some. This is not the America we know, he says, nor is it the America we aspire to be."--John Kerry** Jan. 27, 2006
