1. Coburn said that in the 1980's Durbin was pro-life/anti abortion |
|
while Durbin was no longer in the room.
Coburn said it in defense to Alito as if to say - see - people do change their mind. All I kept thinking was how many times Coburn called Kerry a flip-flopper - grrr.
It was a low blow - watching the repeats on cspan to see what ever came of that.

3. He did reply, and noted that he has stood for election many times |
|
subsequently and that his constituents know precisely where he stands on the issue. He took the high road, and made Coburn look like a petulant ass.

2. Yea but I don't remember the details. |
|
I think it was Sen Coburn who said "I wish Sen Durbin was still here because I wanted to hassel him about...and I don't recall even if he said what it was about. When Durbin came back, Coburn was out, and Arlan asked that he wait until they were both there.
I can tell you it didn't sound like any big deal when I heard it. A little sparing is all.
