You are right only in the sense that one can never be 100% sure of anything. But you can safely bet that Alito is saying what he needs to say. You can also safely bet that with a majority of justices with Alito's judicial philosophy, even if they all said the same thing about Roe v. Wade at their confirmation hearing, Roe v. Wade would not last long.

It really showed how helpless he is without advisors. I was agreeing with most of your observations about Miers until you said this. That statement doesn't fit this President on many issues. You acknowlege in a later post that Presidents make mistakes and Bush made a mistake with Miers. I'll agree with that, but the other is nonsense.

Well the Dems made up the new rules with Bork and now they find that the Pubbies are playing by those rules and are winning. That would be a little discouraging wouldn't it?
To: Dave S
It is not implicit, it is explicit. The right of privacy Alito referenced is the "specific" right of privacy in your possessions, papers and person, not the "general" right of privacy that some find "implicit" in the Constitution. That is what made his answer to the question so brilliant.

He's not losing his cool in front of the retard Dems on Senate Judiciary Committee. Kennedy, Leahy, Biden, etc. are just making fools of themselves.

"Does anyone seriously believe that Miers performance would have been as steady, serious and unflappable as our man Alito?
Thank goodness that the President saw the light and got her out and Alito in! And thank goodness for the scores who stood up and said no to Miers....including all those who did so here at FR!"
Agreed. I waited it out, hoping that this was going to be another President Bush "rope a dope." So far, so good. :)

Well, it's my opinion. I could be wrong. I think the problem arose when his advisor on nominees became the nominee. I said it rather perjoratively, but the truth is, most executives are helpless without advisors. The make decisions, they set overall strategy, but without experts around to help, they are useless.

Republicans have had their ducks in a row and Alito is going to be hard to defeat; it must be killing the leftists.

The DNC website said, "Judge Alito almost gives the impression of a man who will say anything he can in a job interview to get that job." Somehow, the Democrats don't have a problem with this concept when it is applied by their own Presidential candidates. ;)

Translation: Almost nobody believes the hyperbolic caterwauling spewing forth from the Democrats and MSM anymore, and many are fed up with their anti-US obstructionism.

He ran rings around the Judiciary Democrats and had his facts cold. He's nothing in person like the rabid dog extremist image portrayed on the kook Leftist websites. He strikes one as a mild-mannered professor. But unlike Robert Bork he's not scary and knows well enough not to say things that could give his adversaries ammunition. Its tough for Democrats to depict him as Dr. Jekyll. All they're getting for their pains in Sam Alito is the affable Mr. Hyde.

Does anyone remember the controversy about Harriett Miers? How many Bush-bots did you hear say that we needed a "stealth" nominee because a more open conservative would not make it? What we needed and wanted was either an open philosophical war as a venue to prove the superioirty of conservativism over liberalism (which we did not get in this case) or another public demonstration of Democrat inanities, ineptitude, and sophomoric partisonship (which we DID get in this case, in spades).
It really is amazing how stupid the Democrat senators sound. Biden talked about everything except his favorite lawn fertilizer. I heard that Yale now offers a course in "Stupidity". From what I have seen, these guys must have received PHD's in same. It's just toop bad that the Islamists and the rest of our adversaries get to witness this nonsense on TV. I'm sure they go right out and sharpen their knives when the show is over.

Agreed. It was a nice tough when that fat drunk Kennedy accused Judge Alito of being on the government payroll his entire life. Except for the fact that the statement was a LIE. It is Kennedy, in fact, who has been on the government payroll his entire (useless) life.
