Step up, Senator Byrd, and kiss the ring of King George. RIP America.

1. Tell Mr. I sleep with a copy of the Constitution

to stick it where the sun don't shine

unfrickinbelievable

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. That's the truly unbelievable part, isn' it?

He likes to pull out the copy he carries in his vest pocket while speaking on the Senate floor. I guess it really doesn't mean that much to him after all?

2. Somebody wanna fill in us cube monkeys?

[montanacowboy]

3. Byrd is voting yes for Alito

[tatertop]

4. How can this be?

[Marnieworld]

5. No.

Tell me your kidding! Not Senator Byrd. WTF do they have on him?

11. Byrd is voting yes for Alito

I have some friends in WV who all are Democrats ... but to talk to them, they come across as farther right than FlimFlambaugh sometimes ... maybe Byrd is responding to WV voters.

It sure seems strange, though ... he's always been one of the good guys.

6. omigod

Is he about to slam the Judiciary Dems for their questioning of Alito????

[orion9941]

8. Byrd?! Really?!

I would have never thought he would vote yes. I wonder what the hell they are holding over his head that would make him vote yes???

9. Someone must have taken his family hostage or something.

10. so he's gonna vote for alito because of the anti-alito ads and mrs

alito's crying.

wow. what excellent reasons to wreck separation of powers, mr. constitution!

[Skidmore]

12. He thinks he's going to teach both parties a lesson.

And will lose the war doing it.

[RepublicanElephant]

13. exactly. just like nader in 2000 getting us into this mess in the first

place!

[debbierlus]

14. I was too late.

90% of the calls he got were from Alito supporters. His staff told me that...

I was too late.

I tried.

I should have called yesterday.

[tnlefty]

17. Please tell me that he didn't say that in his remarks, please?

I quit watching for a while and if he said this I think I'll go find the place that's popular for jumpers who are in a fit of despondency.

15. Time To Shred That Copy of The Constitution

Sen. Byrd - because you just handed a vote to a man who hates the consitituion, Bill of Rights, etc.... How could ya?

[Gregorian]

16. Not unlike the bible, you can wave the Constitution around.

He's a conservative. And he used to be a member of the KKK.

His core inner self has not changed.

I'm saddened. Women will suffer greatly, for what these men are about to do. It's not a sane country. And DU cannot change America by itself.

18. He's on C_SPAN. Byrd explains the letters he got were hand written and

most of them used two words decribing the Alito hearings, "outrage and "disgrace".

[RepublicanElephant]

19. GOOD LORD!!! how freakin' gullible can you be??????

[mom cat]

20. Please keep calling his office until there is an official announcement.
