WASHINGTON DC - Senator Al Franken makes his opening statement in the confirmation hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayor to become a Justice in the United States Supreme Court.


Franken expressed concern that the US Supreme Court had not expressed proper deference to Congressional laws and that individuals' rights had become imperiled by too many decisions in the favor of large interests.

I couldnt agree with you more, Franken is gonna be a great senator. Limbaugh would have no chance in hell of becoming a senator. I'm proud as a Minnesotan having him represent us.

Al Franken is a genius

Yeah, yeah. I know. ACORN is the cause of every problem. Cancer, obesity, war, boogie monsters, Big Foot, that bad Chinese food I had for dinner, the C+ you got on your history exam, high cell phone bills, high gas prices, and corny sitcoms. It's all ACORNs fault. :)

Good job Min. you have given us another jokster as a politician. Maybe Jesse would have sereved you better. What a joke.

Sure he could if the right had a currupt organization like the left has - ACORN.

Genius? Al Franken is an idiot. With the help of the currupt ACORN, ANYONE can steal an election. He couldn't grow an audience on Air America (The left's talk network - you wouldn't know that cause no one listens!)

[jhamm999]

i wonder why franken didnt ask her what she thought about someone stealing a senate race?.

[geoffds]

Agreed. And I can't stand those who say electing Franken on the left would be the same as electing Limbaugh on the right. Franken is going to be pragmatic, deliberate, and well versed on every issue that is put on his desk. Limbaugh would be nothing more than a loud-mouth bully on the senate floor...not that he would ever be elected in the first place.
