be hard to beat, though the rethugs will give it that tired old college try.
I especially can't wait for Sessions to spout. And the fact that even Cornyn has advised the rethugs to ease back is interesting.

2. Hey there babylonsister. Agree. The Jeff Sessions thugs will try to |

it is impossible to believe that there are republicans that do not know their elbows from their behinds ... if they were smart they would know and acknowledge that many of sotomayor's decisions were unanimous with the other judges in court she belongs to ...

8. Not only that, but by their blustering, they are ostracizing Hispanics. |

No one is thinking rationally.

10. Yes. The GOP really can't afford to alienate more constituencies. They've already |

alienated quite a few. They're making it harder for their own candidates in the 2010 midterms.

3. Yes, and I hope Frank Ricci gets dismantled along the way. |

i have been more than vocal in my criticism of her response to the RICCI case, but IN GENERAL, i think she is a fine jurist and should be confirmed.

6. Hi, paulsby. I think your analysis is spot-on. It may be very entertaining |
|
to see Sessions et al try to rattle her.
My hunch is that she doesn't rattle easily.

11. I am pretty confident in her ability to remain calm and unreactive to their antics |
