The Fox analysis sounds accurate, however, if the Dems go too far (such as they did with John Roberts) as reflected in subsequent polls they may be compelled to back off.
The concern that FNC raises reflects the NYT's headline that Dems talked all about themselves and didn't let Alito speak.
I would see that as instructions from the MSM to try again.
More like the dems don't understand a word of what Alito is saying.
