Judge Samuel A. Alito’s wife Martha left the confirmation hearing room in tears this evening, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) apologized to the Judge’s family for the behavior of his fellow committee members during the course of the last three days.

Sen. Graham said: “Judge Alito, I am sorry that you’ve had to go through this. I am sorry that your family has had to sit here and listen to this.”

Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have attacked Judge Samuel A. Alito over his membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton and his involvement in the Vanguard case.

One senior Republican in the hearing room said of the situation: “After three full days of attacks against her husband’s character, Mrs. Alito had enough. Democrat behavior during this hearing has not only been wrong, it’s been embarrassing. Ted Kennedy is nothing but a bully.”

Who can blame her? The behavior of Senate Democrats has been deplorable. Watching them grasp at straws to find grounds to attack a good man is exasperating and frustrating.

So far, they haven't found anything sufficient to undermine him. And I don't expect that he will.

"Just tears? She's a strong lady. I'd tear out my hair listening to those pompous senators."

Agreed. Somebody better stand up and defend the good because the Democratic party has obviously chosen to mock, slander, and lie about the good. You have to wonder how many good people will in the future subject themselves to this kind of political nonsense. That's the real crime committed by the dem. blowhards. I honestly believe we've been invaded by a foreign power by means of the Democrats. That's the only way to explain their hostile take on every political position.

Other remarks Alito could make:

"You're plunging to new depths."

"I'm not out to make waves."

"You're all wet."

[...Judge Alito to Sen Kennedy,

"I mean, come on, it's a 20 year old newsletter I didn't even write.
It's not like I killed somebody."...]

This is so great. I hope Judge Alito is FReeping tonight.

And, by the way, Rush Limbaugh today said that Ted Kennedy belonged to an elitist, all white organization while he was at Harvard.
I didn't know that! Obviously, this took place before he was expelled for cheating.

I don't know Mrs. Alito, but I like her face.

She looks like a someone you know that's in the ladies' neighborhood bunco club one night a month. She looks like the neighbor who will bring homemade minestrone soup over if you're sick.

She looks like the lady that bakes for the bake sales and greets kids at the door on Halloween. She has a kindly face and a twinkle in her eye.

No, I don't know Mrs. Alito at all, but I'd like to. She must be horrified at what she's hearing......and I'm sure the LADIES and GENTLEMEN reading this are horrified also. Civility, true manliness and respect are foreign to the vile, evil scumbags who call themselves Democrat Senators.

God save our nation whose fate lies in great part in the hands and rotting brains of these arrogant, condescending, demented, twisted pieces of human debris.

Idaho is a good guess--potatoes will give her a butt that's one axe handle wide (an upstate NY descriptive term).

Only if you hate pesky little things like civil liberties and constitutional rights.

What horse phooey. I think you're in the wrong forum. I've looked over your in forum posts and you are only here to stir up trouble.

And here is Alan Colmes saying that Alito's character wasn't attacked. Arse.
