Oh, it was just Uncle Teddy getting his panties in a wad over a Princeton org that Alito claimed he didn't remember anything about but Teddy wouldn't let it go. Someone (Specter?) said something about beating a dead horse. Then Teddy got hyper and wanted to get a court order to bring in some paper that some unknown person from this org that might have said something racist. Teddy said he sent a letter to Specter and wanted to argue when Specter said he hadn't gotten it - "I KNOW you got it!" Specter shut him up and aide went running out after telling the swimmer there's a difference between sending and recieving a letter and not to tell him what he recieved or not. I don't think Teddy's made it back from his 14 martini lunch.
He does raise a point oft overlooked, and that is the power of Congress over the Courts. Most people take the "seated for life" and "beyond the reach of Congress" and "Court has the final say" memes a bit too literaly.
