Politics. These Senator's are using this hearing as a soap box!

Everyone thinks they're about the law but really it's about the senators' misunderstanding of the law.

Clearly, its about the other political party trying to make a full of the nominee.

Outside of gross negligence or bad personal behaviour, a President should be able to get anyone he nominates confirmed.
The Democrats put that to rest during the Bork confirmation hearings and that is why we what we are seeing today.

GOLDMAN PROFITS JUST ONE BIG FAT LIE!

Why is it that nobody sees the ponzicheme that goldman has pulled over your eyes?
Goldman did not have a profitable year. THEY WERE BAILED OUT! NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE... BUT THREE TIMES WITH OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS. WHERE IS OUR RETURN FOR MAKING THEM SOLVENT?

Goldman Sachs was bailed out and stabilized by the TARP moneys they accepted in 2007, then again in Sept 2008, then bailed out again for a second time with the "double dip" of $20billion in TARP moneys we originally sent to AIG.
Question that must be asked of the FEDERAL RESERVE on behalf of we the people... Why was Goldman the sole creditor who was paid off in full?
Question if Goldman was so flush with capital why weren't they sent to the back of the line so that other AIG creditors who were barely treading water weren't forced into default compromises in order to remain in business.
THIS KETTLE OF IVY LEAGUE FISH DISGUISED AS ECONOMISTS STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN. Kindly include Barney Frank, Geithner and the rest of the banking committee in this hoax and hold their feet ot the fire, Rich.
This is the whooper that can't be allowed to get off the hook. Not for an instant.
Bonuses my ass! Goldman would have been just as insolvent as the rest, no question about it. The payoff by AIG in this 3 card monte scheme turned a $20billion dollar loss into a $20billion dollar taxfree profit, and nobody has blinked once. Winks yes, just look around that crooked pool table and see all the chesire cat smiles that are being suppressed.
Sic 'em, Richo. Go 50 on all of them.

Have your staff go back and tally amounts and the figures, you'll all see the proof is in the pudding.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THIS GOVERNMENT WHO KNOWS WHO TO ADD... OR CONNECT THE DOTS?

Have fun? Why not venture down to DC and get some live interviews from these crackpots? Put them all on the spot so that they may never be placed in charge of our money or the US treasury again in this lifetime.

These particular confirmation hearings are nothing more than a diversion. Dare we say just an amusement to pass the time. Everyone knows Sotomeyer is going to be selected. Thet are just drawing this thing out in order for the G-S ponzischeme and other budget issues such as the 108b to the IMF get passed onto our backs without a being noticed.

Scotus is a joke. It has absolutely nothing to do with the concept of impartiality, when the members are political appointees.
