Wouldn't you like to see Judge Alito and Chief Justice Roberts questioning the Democrat Senators to determine their qualifications for Public office? Just imagine matching the IQs of the Senators and the Judges!

The questions might go like this.............................

Judge Alito (JA): "Senator Kennedy, I see from your official resume that you attended Harvard University..."

Senator Kennedy (SK): "Yes, your honor, I certainly did."

JA: "Did you graduate?"

SK: "Your honor, I respectfully ask that you not pry into my personal life..."

JA: "Is it not true that you were expelled from Harvard for violating the honor code, to wit, you hired someone to take an exam for you?"

SK: "Mr. Chairman, I want to go on record that I disagree with this line of questioning. I ask the chair to order the Judge from asking questions about my private matters.."

Senator Specter, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee: "Answer the Judge's questions. He answered all of yours.."

JA: "Senator Kennedy, we have on hand a transcript of the session of the university's honor council attesting to your fraudulent examination and subsequent expulsion from the university..."

SK: "I have had all I can take of this line of unreasonable questioning. I am going to ask Al Gore how he managed to keep his early departure from Vanderbilt University Divinity School away from the eyes of you religious nuts..."

JA: "Wait, Senator Kennedy, I want to ask you about the 26 phone calls you made from a motel room the night Mary Jo Kopecne drowned in your car at Chappaquidik, when you said you were asleep all night..." [ Kennedy flees the hearing room ]

Senator Specter: "Chief Justice Roberts [CJR] will now interrogate Senator Biden [SB}, Democrat of Delaware..."

CJR: "Senator Biden, is it not true that you were expelled from law school for plagiarizing another student's work?"

SB: "Wait, Ted, I am going with you..." [ Biden flees the hearing room ]

Senator Specter: "Judge Alito will now interrogate Senator Feinstein, Democrat of California..."

JA: "Senator Feinstein [SF], why did you vote for the former Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan of West Virginia [Robert Byrd] to be the Democrat Senate Majority Leader in 1986, 1988, 1990, and 1992?"

SF: "Wait, boys, I am going with you..." [Feinstein flees the hearing room ]

[ end of hearing ]

Ted Kennedy was forced to withdraw for two years from Harvard in May 1951 after he was allegedly caught cheating on his final examination in a Spanish class. Kennedy eventually re-entered Harvard, graduating in June 1956.

Gore attended Vanderbilt Divinity School and Law School, although he did not complete a degree at either. I'm not sure why that was added. Lots of people attend a University, and don't graduate. Gore did graduate from Harvard in June 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts degree

Sen Biden graduated from the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware, in 1965. He then attended Syracuse University College of Law, graduating in 1968, and was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969

Senator Byrd participated in the KKK for a period of time during World War II, holding the titles "Kleagle", which indicated a Klan recruiter, and "Exalted Cyclops." That's been common knowledge since 1952.

While I can see where this post is coming from, I would at least hope the facts would be presented fairly. As it stands now, the original post leads people to believe items that are not true.

Now, just in case you are wondering- I'm not arguing whether or not a potential Supreme Court Justice should be asked if he is qualified.

But I do question if we distort facts to make our arguements.

oh, you mean like these same senators did in the questioning of Alito?

Nice of you to demand people be fair when talking about the senators when this is EXACTLY what they did when they hopped up and down over the last few nomanies?

They have not been discussion the qualifications, just posturing for partisan reasons.

"Do you want everyone to have an abortion? No? Sorry, can't vote for you."

Kennedy making Alito look like a racist when he has the same types of affilitations that he was blasting Alito about?

Everything in the orginal post was acurate. I got the same thing in an email last week and checked it out then.

Also it was interesting when Kennedy signed the wrong papers and signed up for 4 instead of 2 years, and his daddy got the papers PULLED and replaced with a 2 year stint away from the action? Sounds even worse than what President Bush has been accused of? Why, yes it does!

Yeah, don't say the truth in a way that makes Democrats look as bad as they ARE because that wouldn't be "fair".

And as for Kennedy, there was no "allegedly". It was a FACT, and he is on record apologizing for it.
