It is appalling that the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee would be going after Judge Samuel Alito with such vengeance that Mrs. Alito would be driven to tears and walk out of the hearings.
But at least there was a funny moment when Sen. Teddy 'Windbag' Kennedy could not finish his question and our lovely Sen Diane Feinstein had to ease him along.
This is just a shameful performance by the Democrats. They can not ask real questions so they bring up a Princeton alumni group that Judge Alito never denied belonging to.
They keep trying to pounce him over the head about abortion as if he is going to say, "Hell yes, I will vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade the first chance that I get!"
The whole thing is a pointless episode. I predict that Judge Alito will be confirmed 57-43. The Democrats will not have the votes to sustain a filibuster and even if they try, they will set a horrific chain of events that when they have the majority in the Senate and their president wants to nominate a left-winger to the supreme court, Republicans will not forget and stick it to them but good.
You read it hear first, Alito will be confirmed.
I can not wait for the next justice to retire so that President Bush can nominate another conservative and really get the Democrats to fall off the cliff!
