In the article written by then PROSPECT editor Frederick Foote, Foote writes: “The facts show that, for whatever reasons, whites today are more intelligent than blacks.”
Senate Democrats expect excerpts like this written by other Princeton graduates will be enough to torpedo the Alito nomination.
One Democrat Hill staffer involved in their strategy declared, “Put a fork in Scalito. It doesn’t matter that Alito didn’t write it, it doesn’t matter that Alito wasn’t that active in the group, Foote wrote it in CAP’s magazine and we are going to make Alito own it.”
However, a Republican insider contacted about the situation said, “It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. The reason CAP was formed was to protest against people like Drujack who think killing chickens is similar to what happened at Auschwitz. I don’t understand how what a guy named Foote wrote in some magazine has anything to do with Alito.”

The final witness on the Senate Democrats newly unveiled witness list for Alito’s hearing is freelance journalist Stephen Dujack.
Dujack is a ’76 Princeton graduate and a longtime critic of CAP.
Dujack was the author of a highly critical 1986 op-ed in the PRINCETON ALUMNI WEEKLY titled “The Contradictions Of CAP.” Dujack slammed the group for its policies opposing Princeton's decision to admit women and minorities.
Dujack now says: "Judge Alito will have to explain to the Senate Judiciary Committee why he paid dues to an outfit... that was overtly racist and sexist for its entire 14-year existence — at times passionately so, too."
Dujack adds: "There is no way for Alito's backers to claim his association with the organization does not imply endorsement of its views, for opposition to women and minorities at Princeton was as central to CAP as opposition to drunken driving is to MADD."
However, THE DRUDGE REPORT has learned the Democrats’ star witness comes with baggage of his own. Dujack penned an op-ed in 2003 that compared farm animals to Holocaust victims and gave money to the Kerry presidential campaign.
In the April 21, 2003 LOS ANGELES TIMES, Dujack wrote: “Like the victims of the Holocaust, animals are rounded up, trucked hundreds of miles to the kill floor and slaughtered.” Dujack went on, “To those who defend the modern-day Holocaust on animals by saying that animals are slaughtered for food and give us sustenance, I ask: if the victims of the Holocaust had been eaten, would that have justified the abuse and murder?”
THE DRUDGE REPORT has also uncovered a purported $2,000 donation Dujack made to John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004.
Bet they can't find records of my activities in a secret Princeton hate group. That must prove how evil I am.
Let just one 'pub on the committee put things in there proper perspective-Alito is to be held responsible for the writing of a member of a group he once belonged to so when is Robert Byrd going to be held to the same standard?
Interesting. I was googling Dujack and found out he's the grandson of Isaac Bashevis Singer, 1998 Nobel prize winner, one of the last Yiddish novelists (at least in the 20's - 30's), and avowed vegetarian.

Should I be worried if this becomes the standard on how to judge someone?
I am a monthly supporter of Free Republic, and I would hate to have someone judge me by what some post on this forum.
I would think an individuals action and writing would hold more weight then an organization they were a member of when young.
Oh, I forgot, this is from a group on the left. Any opinion that does not agree with theirs makes you wrong.
"“Put a fork in Scalito. It doesn’t matter that Alito didn’t write it, it doesn’t matter that Alito wasn’t that active in the group, Foote wrote it in CAP’s magazine and we are going to make Alito own it.”"
This is so stupid, I have to believe it's made-up.
Can you say "guilt by association"? We know that the ACLU has defended the "rights" of Nazis and pedophiles (NAMBLA), but woe betide the conservative who dares infer from that the every current and former member of the ACLU (one of whom currently sits on the USSC) is a Nazi or a pedophile.
BRING IT ON....BRING DUJACK TO TESTIFY!! Just WAIT til Jewish people hear that this LEFTY DEMOCRAT EQUATES THE HOLOCAUST to killing beef for eating!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Even my RABIDLY DEMOCRAT LIBERAL M-I-L will sway a little!!
