My goodness… Politicians sure can talk.  I’ve been listening to Senator Kerry on CSpan for close to an hour now while I’ve been working on picking up the house and cleaning the floors (which will likely be dirty again before the end of the day tomorrow).

Apparently, even though Democrats know that Alito is as good as confirmed, and that he sailed through the nomination process with nary a scratch, they have chosen a late attempt at what I like to think is a “soft filibuster.”  It’s not a real filibuster, mind you, just an attempt to stall for a while.  Really, it’s a tactic on par with something your typical used-car salesman might use.
Did you know that, during the congressional review process, Alito was asked over 600 questions?  That  is twice as many as Ginsburg received during her nomination process in the 1990’s.  And while Ginsburg answered about 80% of the questions posed to her, Alito answered over 97% of the questions given to him during his process.

And Democrats aren’t happy with THAT?

It is now 10:31 PM, EST, and Kerry continues to drone on.
Wow!  I need to get that job!
