3. I just think there might be a subtext under the text. It's as if there is |
|
some other issue emerging.

7. Oh, I'll agree with you there! |

I've definitely seen some undercurrent going on here- there's a lot of politicial issues bubbling to the surface here.

8. To be blunt, it seems like some official, formal uprising; there is |
|
more going on in this hearing than the usual drivel about the nominee.

11. Right now Orrin Hatch is speaking, but not the usual bullshit that |
|
falls out of his mouth. Also, Specter seems to be downright open. Of course, Leahy was great.

I'm steeped in work, so I'm going to have to rely on the reports of good DUers such as yourself to follow these historic Judge Stepford hearings.
B-)

regardless of party, ideology, etc. And something about Roberts being a, I can't remember the word, something like casualty of what is going on now in our political system...WOW!

25. Biden now ...... good ... no GREAT rhetoric .... but ...... |
|
... that's ALL MR. Credit Cards is capable of.
"Discrimination wasn't mentioned in the Constitution" was one fo the better ones. He was tough and spoke strongly to Roberts' past 'memos'.
But I have little to no faith in Biden's fidelity to what a Dem should stand for.
