PAD, you are the one who is ignoring facts. Phase II of the Senate investigation hasn't happened yet. That is why Reid pullled his stunt. Senate repubs are dragging their feet in order to protect Bush.
Actually, it's not the same article. Mine comes from the Washington Post, his from the Washington times. It's also better to compare 2003 and 2005, since they were non-election years.
The WP has the info here:

Now, the latest financial numbers are prompting new doubts. From January through September, the Republican National Committee raised $81.5 million, with $34 million remaining in the...
It seems there are people who were at the event who didn't see any oreos thrown.

Actually, waving a flag upside down is the international signal for distress. They mentioned this on one of the seasons of Survivor, since in one of the challenges one of the teams did this. Ah, the things you learn on reality TV. :)
I think to determine if blacks are more prone to criminal activity to whites, you would have to take into consideration those who get probation and community service. Blacks, I think, tend more to get prison sentences for lesser crimes while white people would get probation and community service.
Sorry but you have been shown to be wrong time and time again on FACTS, not flavors of ice cream. When shown to be wrong on thread, you either stop replying to it, or you start calling names. YOU should be used to being proven wrong time and time again.
How does it feel to be consistantly shown to be wrong on this board PAD?
No, I am not saying I am qualified in legal matters, but I firmly believe that a Supreme
Court Justice nominee needs to have more than two years experience as a judge.
That's right. The msm does a lot of poor reporting. Just look how they covered the run-up to the Iraqi war, the recent presidential elections, and Whitewater. Each media outlet wants to be the first to get something sensational on the air, so fact checking gets lost in the shuffle.
As was said before, she had a 13 year record as a judge that could be examined, plus her name was suggested to Clinton by Orrin Hatch as someone who would be acceptable to repubs. If Roberts was suggested from the dems as someone who would be acceptable, then answering questions wouldn't be as...
Now your argueing what the definition of "is" is. He was nominated but he still needs to be approved, so basically this is a job interview. If you went into a job interview with little experience with the job you are applying for, and refuse to answer questions, you are not going to get that job.
He's applying to be head justice. All info should be made available in order to reach the decision if he should be appointed or not. Separation of powers and executive privelage don't apply here.
I hope that judges can be unbiased also. With everything becoming more and more politizied, I think it is more important now that Supreme Court nominees have judical experience. This gives more of a record to examine, and prevents either side from trying to get a "stealth" nominee in. It also...

Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) -- The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said he urged President George W. Bush today to delay nominating a replacement for retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
Senator Arlen Specter...
Being a lawyer and being a judge are two different things. I wouldn't want someone on the Surpreme Court with no experience as a judge. He has TWO years experience as a judge. Two years in my mind is not enough experience to put you on the highest court in the land. Remember the topic was would...
