Dick Durbin to Scalito: "Your record raises troubling questions...

...about whether you appreciate the checks and balances in our Constitution — the careful efforts of our Founding Fathers to protect us from a government or a president determined to seize too much power over our lives,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

“In an era when the White House is abusing power, is excusing and authorizing torture and is spying on American citizens, I find Judge Alito’s support for an all-powerful executive branch to be genuinely troubling,” said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

Republican Sen. Mike DeWine of Ohio offered a counterpoint. “Your modest approach to judging seems to bode well for our democracy,” he said.

Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., focused on the larger debate over interpretation of the Constitution, saying that there is a "genuine struggle" over key issues in the document, thus the questioning was right to be extensive and probing. The hearings, he said, come in the middle of "the most significant national debate in modern Constitutional history," he said, arguing that Americans are "entitled to know" what Alito thinks.

with dynamite and a crow bar. That's what I hate about those phuckers. They ignore common sense and walk in lockstep no matter what. The whole repuke party should be abolished because they are NO GOOD for the average American and are down right cold hearted and indifferent to the helpless and poor. But yet THEY claim to have all the morality,ethics and integrity! It's crazy. :crazy:

and tell him and the country to his face that he's unacceptable. Weasel words won't get it done. This is the whole fucking ballgame and we need to treat this like it's war.

:freak:

sure fellated the guy . . .

...I've seen him called in more times than I care to remember on cable news shows to fluff up whatever's current on the Bush "agenda."

Bitch of Buchenwald. I really could.

I love it...Let's Bork Scalito out of consideration!

:toast:
