274. Well DAMN, you convinced me! Thanks to you I'm voting for McCain (HAHAHA!!!)
You said, quote:

"Biden is also too old for this -- 73?"

Too old at 65? Were you not sure that he was 73, or maybe 72, or maybe 74?

Allowed Hatch and Simpson attack Hill? Do you know the rules of Senate hearings? In order to stop them from speaking they'd have to probably go as far as calling her a fucking whore - anything less than that and they have to be allowed to speak.

If you watched every moment of those hearings, how could you have missed this? Here's Thomas talking about the very first question to him during the hearings, from Senator Joseph Biden:

"Senator Biden was the first questioner. Instead of the softball questions he’d promised to ask, he threw a beanball straight at my head, quoting from a speech that I’d given four years earlier at the Pacific Legal Foundation and challenging me to defend what I’d said: “ ‘I find attractive the arguments of scholars such as Stephen Macedo, who defend an activist Supreme Court that would . . . strike down laws restricting property right.’ ” That caught me off guard, and I had no recollection of making so atypical a statement, which shook me up even more. “Now, it would seem to me what you were talking about,” Senator Biden went on to say, “is you find attractive the fact that they are activists and they would like to strike down existing laws that impact on restricting the use of property rights, because you know, that is what they write about.” "

If you watched every moment of those hearings, perhaps you dozed off during the vote in which Biden voted NO to sending Thomas' nomination to the full Senate and he also voted AGAINST his nomination during the full Senate vote.

"Betrayal by Biden"??? :rofl:
