Dujack has been dropped from the witness list, as per this FR thread/article:

We may have tipped the dims off to a fatal flaw in their plan. We've got to be more devious and secretiave, like they are.

NOT!

However, we do need to make sure that this info finds its way to Brit Hume, Tony Snow and Rush.

HEY Dirtbag dems.....

This quote from Drudge is exactly how America will react....

"I don’t understand how what a guy named Foote wrote in some magazine has anything to do with Alito"


Maybe the superwits at Kos or DU or whatever Sewer du jour is being frequented by Shumer and company will get it, but regular, normal Americans...will blow it off and yet the rage will grow...Its gonna be fun to watch the Democrat Party have a collective Cerebral Hemorrhage...

Brit's show already mentioned that a group of both Republican and Democrat judges have requested to testify before the Judicial Committee, because of the unfair characterization some in Washington have to the reputation of Judge Alito

I heard that the Dems have already said that if Sharon dies this week or early next week they want a postponement of the hearings. I think that is besides the week they can legally hold up the vote.

Regardless of who's presenting the CAP "charges," they are not frivolous on their face (like, say, the attacks on judges because they've owned houses with racial deed restrictions).

That said, attacking Alito, who graduated in 1972, the same year CAP was founded, for CAP's actions in the late 1970s and early 1980s, is outrageous, unless there is evidence that Alito had input into CAP's later actions, or that he knowingly expressed support for them. His mere mention of the group in a cover letter in 1985 does not mean that he supported or even knew about all that it was doing.

Also, on its face, the charge of "sexism" or legally questionable views because CAP opposed women at Princeton is weak. Colleges do not have to go co-ed, and who would blame Hillary Rodham (Clinton) if she had opposed (or still does oppose) admitting women to Wellesley College, which remains all-women?

Also, although I have heard charges and characterizations of racism, I have not seen direct CAP quotes (let alone ones from 1972, or ones written by Alito) which were clearly racist. CAP did oppose racial preferences and did prefer the "bad old days" of white men in the 1950s. That said, I've seen nothing indicating they opposed admissions of minorities on the same terms as whites, and for that matter CAP's controversial articles from the early 1980s were written by Dinesh D'Souza, not an African American, but an Indian with skin as dark as most Africans; if CAP would let such a person actually write for them, it's hard to believe they opposed minorities in their school.

Probably true in that they want to go to the services or at least some of them would I'd guess from both sides of the aisle.

Well, it's about danged time they speak out about the treatment the Republican nominees have been subjected to. Ginsberg never went through this.

Everyone thought Clarence Thomas was a solid favorite, but Anita Hill was waiting in the wings. I can only imagine what they have in store.

Alito supporters need to be waiting with both barrels loaded.

It will be the usual brainless agitprop and faux moral outrage.

Liberals aren't about to endanger their abortion fetish. No way. No how.

True. But liberals also have a history of sneak attacks with unforseen smear tactics. During the Thomas nomination, the GOP fought back, and while their counterattack wasn't flawless, it succeeded.

Alito's supporters need to expect the unexpected and be ready to smash any lies and liars the minute they rear their ugly heads.

I think the best approach is let the Democrats go ahead and destroy themselves.

They are doing all the wrong things.

I know democrats now that hate to be identified as democrats.

The Democratic Leadership is going to destroy the Democratic Party, by themselves!

for once, it would be good to be AHEAD of this story - instead of letting it happen first, and then reacting in defense mode to it. if the witness list shapes up to show the Dems playing this card, Bush should address the nation before the testimony is given. if the Dems spring this during the hearing, adjourn it, and have the president address the nation that night.

Let the pinhead Democrats just try to take out Judge Alito.

There are a lot of conservatives ready to go to the mat yet again to ensure we get a good justice.

Alito supporters on here are one thing.....Republican senators are another. Most of them are more afraid of the dims and MSM than they are the terrorists.

I am ready.

I still burn with anger over the personal destruction of Robert Bork all these years later.

I am not well. I feel myself close to the edge. These Dems wouldn't like the over-the-edge me.
