bRight & Early

I grew up in New Jersey, lived in Arkansas and South Carolina, and now I’m here in the Sunshine State. Each of those states have more than a few clue-deficient politicians. Massachusetts, however, has cornered the market. The optimist in me had hoped that we had seen the low point of Senator Kerry’s career during [...]

I just can’t help wondering what stunt the Democrats are going to pull next. We’ve already had the needless delay to start the hearings and the needless delay going into today’s vote. It’s sort of like watching America’s Funniest Home Videos; You know before the show is over some guy is gonna get it in [...]

When the Senate Judiciary Committee finally votes on Judge Alito the results will more than likely follow party lines. It will much the same when his confirmation is debated on the Senate floor. As we move closer to that time, two things stand out.
The left has but one hope left to attempt and derail Judge [...]

The week-long broken-word delay of the Judiciary committee’s vote on Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito is going according to plan. That’s not to say that it is going according to the stated purpose of allowing the Senators to return from MLK day events and then carefully consider the nominee’s qualifications. Rather, it follows the self-evident [...]

First their were the sane words from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, “This might be a man I disagree with, but it doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be on the court.” Unfortunately, she doesn’t plan to back that up with her actions. In other words, words were all there was.
But one Democrat Senator has decided to [...]

That appears to be the motivation of the left. I would love to meet one person in America that honestly believes that the time will be used to come to a decision. The only possible reason for this delay is so they can whine more and allow the wacko base to raise more money. Even [...]

From the credit where credit is due file:
A Democrat who plans to vote against Samuel Alito sided on Sunday with a Republican colleague on the Senate Judiciary Committee in cautioning against a filibuster of the Supreme Court nominee.
“I do not see a likelihood of a filibuster,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. “This might be a [...]

He [The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, [...]

The confirmation hearings of Judge Samuel Alito have been the natural focus of the past week. And while the left is still looking for ways to delay the confirmation, very few have any doubt about what the results will be. The left reminds me of a football team down by 17 points at the two [...]

The best point made, in my opinion, was in this exchange with Sen. Schumer.
SCHUMER: Does the Constitution protect the right to free speech?
ALITO: Certainly it does. That’s in the First Amendment.
SCHUMER: So why can’t you answer the question of: Does the Constitution protect the right to an abortion the same way without talking about stare [...]

Reading the Alito hearing transcripts is an acceptable substitute for novacain during a root canal. But it’s all not dust dry as Sen. Graham showed at the begining of his turn at questioning.
GRAHAM: I guess there’s no rule against beating a dead horse, or we’d all have quit a long time ago.
(LAUGHTER)
So in the next [...]

Here’s a brief overview of what it’s like to read the Alito hearing transcripts where Sen. Windbag Biden is at the mic.
