I hear Alito crashed his car into a canal and left a girl inside to drown while he covered his behind to maintain his politcal viability.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they came up with some lame accussation that needed a "complete investigation" or soemthing along those lines.

Great article from Pruden, as always. His bottom line is that the dems think they're "mainstream" and anyone to the right of them is "out of the mainstream," but you can't be the "mainstream" when you're in the minority. Funny the dems haven't figured that out.

I hope the judge takes his spot on the bench before the President's State of the Union.

It'll be awesome to see his face on the front row with the other justices.

That'll be the worst medicine in the world for the lefties.

A clue as to what they are planning might be drawn by Leahy's hot attack today that Alito would OK secret wire tapping and that Congress had never been appraised of such when they voted to approve armed conflict in Afghanistan.

This was a laughable accusation coming from Leaky Leahy who is one of the reasons the Administration has to move in secret because Leahy blabs war plans to the press.

Never mind that I heard nothing in the hearings before the committee that indicated that Alito was in favor of this. The Dems seem to be switching their plan of attack, probably in the face of the American public's obvious distaste for further discussion of the abortion issue -- particularly the youth who oppose Roe overwhelmingly. (Their attacks are no longer working!)

Who knows what the Dems have in store. I wouldn't be surprised to see them draw the vote out in the full senate. Nevertheless, Alito is going to make it.

I must say I'm disappointed, but not surprised, at the Dems. I hope the Republicans keep these hearings in mind next time a Democrat president nominates someone (hopefully not for a long time to come). At least the Dems are finally out in the open. They really care little for the rule of law and prefer judges who act like legislators. Again, not surprising at all.

[untrained skeptic]

To be honest, I didn't think that a moderate to conservative judge like Alito would be able to get through the Judiciary committee this easily. I thought we'd see more of the same things we saw when Bolton was nominated for UN Ambassador.

Maybe this means the RINOs are starting to learn that they haven't been representing the people who put them in office very well, and are starting to fear the consequences.

Just out of curiosity, if Alito DID measure up to the lofty ideal that Dems hold for O'Connor, would they ever apologize for being jerks to Bush and Alito?
