I think the Republicans are ready to fight for Alito....Orin Hatch was on Fox, earlier, and said "gosh darn it"!!
I could never, ever be a politician. Using tact and playing nicey nice with the likes of Fat Kennedy, Boxer, Biden etc. just would not be a possibility.
What I can't wait for is the usual suspects to show their typical disrespect for the candidate and make @sses out of themselves, as usual.
I hope Alito spanks them like Roberts did.
