After all the plaudits for Stevens, Hatch does not know the details of the case? Orrin,just go on the internet or Google the facts.Is that too difficult?

this doesn't say much for the Hatch judgement. Time he was out of office himself.

orrrin hatch wil save the constitution

The Senate has become a club for the good "ole" boys/girls that have made a living out of what should be a "service" position. They are suppose to work for us "the People" but longevity turns them into "Kings/Queens" and they begin to think we "the People" work for them. But we only have ourselves to blame - we keep electing the same people year after year!

If you look up Good "ole" boy Club in the dictionary there is a picture of the Republican Party!!

We need term limits and no lobbyist's NOW!

One politician calls another politician "honorable."
Good for a laugh, anyway....

Sen. Stevens reflects Utah conservative values. Both Alaskans and Utahans get back more federal dollars than they pay in. They hate the federal government they have become so dependent on.

Hatch may be telling the truth. Stevens may be among the best and most honorable people in the Senate.

That sure tells us a lot about the rest of the people there, especially if Stevens gets convicted.

Hatch as been in DC too long, and is too friendly with people who have done irreparable harm to our country.

Taxpayer gives us a perfect example of armchair justice. How presumptious to assume that, just by doing a search on the internet, one can come to understand all the details of a court case. This is the sort of justice (and I use that word in it's loosest term) that resulted in lynchings in our country's not so distant past.

While I agree that all too many folks in D.C. are far from what we could call honest, it is unfair to throw a blanket label upon all politicians as crooks. Each one of us probably belongs to a group or groups, that has been falsely accused due to the mistakes of a few in that group.

I don't always agree with Sen. Hatch on issues, but he is a man of unreproachable integrity. Any accusations otherwise should be backed up with facts. Otherwise it is just slander.

Economy going to pot. People losing their jobs. A presidential race winding up. What is Hatch doing? Supporting a crook who has diverted millions of dollars to Alaaska and himself. He must have bought a lot of Hatch's albums to get that payback.

He meant "true LIARS of the Senate."

Hatch a man of unreproachable integriy? Pardon me. He used to send me Christmas greetings with a picture of himself and family. I wrote him and asked how he explained the concepts of "honesty" and "integrity" to his grandchildren, given that he promised us when he first migrated here from Penn. and sought office that he would not seek nor serve more than two terms. What is his record for integrity? How many terms? Liar, liar, your pants are on fire. He stopped sending me greetings.

And so what will Senator Hatch say if and when Stevens' conviction is affirmed on appeal? That he know better than both the appellate court and (as Hatch necessarily implies)the jury? His crocodile tears likely reflect no more than his sadness over the fact that the Republicans finally are seeing their sun set.
