I wonder how ugly these hearings will be?

For fun, recalls Mark Dwyer, who roomed with Judge Alito for three years at Yale, "Sam would go back to the room and study."

There were a lot of us in school like that. We're called nerds.

haha, its going to be a total slug fest... the liberals will be going absolutly freakin crazy- more so than they usually are... kick back and enjoy the show!

Alito's planning a future at Yale? What about the Supreme Court?

"I wonder how ugly these hearings will be?"

Picture Bork. Now picture Bork twice as worse. That is a good start.

he would occasionally pull out his bottle of scotch and pour a glass

Just a glass?!? Amateur.

It stands to reason he'd settled down a little by the time he went to Yale. What was he like at Princeton, when he was an undergrad?

[Williams]

It was a better use of time at Yale to protest the war or help the Black Panthers????

So how is this unusual?

I remember my three years in law school as being the equivalent of three years in prison. Get up, study, go to class, study, eat dinner, study until the library closes, go to bed, get up . . . l.

You should have seen Ann Marie Tallman of http://www.maldef.org/ (Mexican American Legal Defense Fund) and the NAACP's President Bruce S. Gordon for the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund (see http://www.naacpldf.org/ for details) going after Alito on CSPAN earlier this week.

They're sure we're going to roll back American ethnic attitudes to those of our colonial days if Alito is elected.

Sounds like he planned his work and then worked his plan. Now he is going to be on the Supreme Court, about the best job a lawyer can get.
