Just In: Senate Judiciary Panel Recommends Alito For Confirmation

Along party lines, 10-8.

Democrats are talking up a floor fight over the nomination, but Lindsey Graham, at least, seems in a feisty frame of mind:

Republicans on the committee accused Democrats of falsely portraying Alito as an extremist and of politicizing the nomination process in preparation for the next election. If this is what the Democrats want in the future, said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), "We'll clean their clock."

I give his statement a solid B+.

Related-- SCANDAL!!!! Justice Scalia dared to play tennis at a junket sponsored by the Federalist Society even as now-Chief Justice Roberts was being sworn in.

It's... it's... horrible! I'm not sure exactly how it's horrible, but I just know that it is!

IMPEACH BUSH!

Is there something inherently violent or domineering about clock cleaning? How did this phrase get its meaning?

I think a few points should be deducted for ambiguity, btw. Cheney's cock would have said it'd tear off their heads and piss down their necks.

It is a scandal.

WTF is he doing on something as pansy as _tennis_ when he could be on a hunting junket. !?!

Irony: The same democrats who whine that Republicans are a "Culture of Corruption" for accepting donations then voting the way the donors want... just voted party-line against Alito because their biggest donors told them to.

I've got to admire the way Democrats have perfected the technique of casting something in an evil light just by referencing it:

"Judge Alito, I'm sure you're an otherwise decent person, but according to reports, you have on more than one occasion complimented your Mother. Even as an adult, you continue to compliment your Mother. As a nominee for the highest court in the land, how do you justify this behavior?"

My favorite part of this morning's committee meeting? Had to be Dick Durbin's great big crocodile tears about how (and I'm paraphrasing) "this was supposed to be about Harriet Myers, but the right-wingers in the Republican party tore her to shreds," or some such bullshit.

Indeed, I wonder how much money got moved into TK's pocket when Moveon put their words in his mouth?

I'm glad that Graham seems to be a non-wussy GOP in the Senate. Why pretend the other side is playing by polite rules.

Seriously -- has anyone on CBS ever even allowed that possibility, except after it was clear Trump had won?

CBD and Sefton discuss President Trump's cabinet picks, including the all-important "Bikini Measure." And the continuing pogroms in Europe, driven by uncontrolled and massive Muslim immigration, and aided by Europe's traditional Jew-Hate.
Written by Ben Meiselas:

"Chuck Todd wrote the most idiotic thing I've read today, and it perfectly encapsulates the problem with corporate media. It's also a confession. He wrote, "These confirmation hearings may just save cable TV for the short term."

You see, people like Chuck Todd and their corporate benefactors are losing relevance. Americans are sick and tired of their lazy reporting, blatant lies, "both sides" equivocations, and outright cheerleading for fascism. By ignoring the most obvious lessons of history, corporate media rooted for chaos, drama, torment, crime, and hardship, believing idiocracy and fascism would be good for ratings.

Well, here it is, Chuck Todd. And no one cares about you or your network. In fact, we hold you responsible for forcing this circus upon us.

If Senate confirmation hearings take place at all, we, the people, are not watching them on your network, Chuck."

(Found on DU, if you hadn't guessed.)

Trump announces RFKJr. for HHS (via the NY Post):
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in his announcement, making rare use of his X account to broadcast a cabinet pick.

"The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"
