Liberal groups are pulling out all the stops in an attempt to deny Alito a chair on the SCOTUS. This is really fun to watch, without the SCOTUS liberals (progressives) as they prefer to be called, are completely powerless. Unable to pass legislation because of their inability to get elected, they have attempted to use the courts to legislate. ie; Roe v Wade Gay Marriage, Gun Control etc. The Bonkeys on the Judicial Commitee are Braying their tulips off. Especially Kennedy, screaming to Supeona records from 30 years ago in a vain attempt to prevent a vote. If the Bonkeys attempt to fillibuster this nomination not only will it backfire but a quick rule change to 51 to over ride it will solve that problem.
what's funny is the NYtimes had those records and ran a story about them on Nov 27th. Yea Teddy is off his rocker.
EDIT: what's even funnier is they are making a big deal about the ruling on strip searching a 10 Year old girl.
Note: the police had probable cause
Note: The girl was searched by a female officer
He rules against the search and drug dealers everywhere start hiding their stash on their kids.
Yea they are pulling out all the stops and could care less if he's qualified or not.
