Is anybody else watching the Sen Judicial Committee voting on Elena Kagan?

[MiniMe]

So far, Sessions and Grassley have been jerks and won't vote for her. Kyl is also being a jerk. The dems have been very supportive.

[MiniMe]

9. Sounds like it

[SunsetDreams]

8. yep, Graham is a yes

[MiniMe]

10. Graham giving a very good speech

Said "I understand that we lost the election, but that is not a reason to vote against this candidate" Quoting the constitution, says that he honors the election. Says elections have consequences, he doesn't agree with her, but he will vote for her.

with their speeches this morning.

[SunsetDreams]

18. Poor fool

Specter and Graham have made him look even more stupid. He supported Roberts and Alito - enough said.

[MiniMe]

19. Graham made Sessions and Grassley sound stupid too

The repugs other than Graham are obviously voting against her for not agreeing with them politically.
