well, he appears to actually know how to get confirmed...just lie to the Dems.
It's odd to say, but I hope he's lying. What a world.
I don't think he's lying.
His statement makes sense, he assumed that O'Connor would uphold her own rulings, and she didn't.
In fairness, this information is third-hand. After a liberal and a liberal reporter have sequentially massaged the information.
Backtracking on a correct conclusion is the first thing I have heard from Alioto to bring a hint of skepticism to my head.
Or he is lying to us when he tells us he is one of us instead of someone just trying to get ahead. If he cannot stand up for himself now is he really going to stand up to the libs on the court and the Washington elites when he is not getting invited to the top parties?
Yeah, but still, agreeing with an idiot (Snowe), about what an airhead (Conner) would do is not the way to inspire conservatives, especially since a majority of women do not support abortion.
That said, however, I still cautiously support Alito.
Alito said absolutely nothing to Snowe. He said he was wrong because he was reversed. He was not asked what he thought about O'Connor's reversal, and refused to opine about Roe. Characterizing what he said as lying is tendentious.
