Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito on Tuesday defended some of his more controversial statements on abortion and vowed to uphold the Constitution when adjudicating matters of presidential authority, even in times of war.
Already running behind schedule by midday, Alito tried to convince Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats that he will follow the rule of law as a Supreme Court justice and not inject personal conservative views into his opinions, particularly when it comes to hot-button topics.
"I don't care what your position is on abortion, it's not about abortion. It's about your reasoning here," Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said during questioning on day two of the nominee's confirmation hearing.
"I don't think anybody thinks you are a man lacking in integrity. I don't think anybody thinks that you are a person who's not independent. I think that what people are wondering about and puzzled about is not whether you lack independence, but whether you independently conclude that the executive trumps the other two branches," Biden added.

Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., was the first questioner and he plunged right into whether Alito believes privacy is protected by the Constitution and his views on abortion.

Demwits getting there BUTTS kick again.
I haven't been able to watch any of the hearings...seriously, though does anyone think that Alito will not be confirmed?
I'll serve the drinks.
He probably will, but we shouldn't underestimate the enemy or take anything for granted.
Somewhere in America, there's an obsessive statistics freak who has just noted this is Biden's 5314th lie.
The Dimocraps are detestable.
Alito looks wonderful. He is giving great answers, the DemocRAT's questions are falling flat and they are running out of time. Schumer, Durbin and Kennedy are deeply saddened. Next is JRB after Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg retires later this year.
...or overestimate the Republicans.
BTW, I think it's "misunderestimate." ;-)
"misunderestimate" is a new one on me...
Not going to happen. He rides home on the train with Biden every night, which in itself explains a lot.

It's one of our President's endearing little gaffes.
Sorry. I get it now :)
Speaking of the Sodden One, he vacated the premises quite some time ago, judging by the periodic panning shots on CSPAN....guess he got his face time, and his appointment with Dr. Chivas beckoned.
And the Dem pummeling continues. Ha ha haahahahhahahahhahaahahahha
Sometime in the 70s, VW had an ad that sent shivers up my spine. Went something like, "If Ted had been driving a VW, he'd be president by now..."
That's probably findable on Google - it pops up here every once in awhile.
