Mrs. Alito

Wendy has this statement out via the Judicial Confirmation Network: “Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer, the big bad boys of the Judiciary Committee, have turned these hearings from ‘Groundhog Day' into 'Kennedy the Barbarian.' These are the men who posture as being sensitive to women's rights and so opposed to violence against them. Well, their relentless verbal violence and character assassination of this good man finally took its toll on Mrs. Alito. It's bad enough that these sanctimonious liberals lecture everyone else about sensitivity to others, especially women, but when they hypocritically hammer away with their pointless personal attacks on a fine judge and a great man, accusing him of being a racist, sexist, liar, do they care about him as a person, or about the feelings of his wife and family who sit there, hour after hour, day after day, listening to the verbal abuse they spew out? Sen. Graham's apology on behalf of his Democrat colleagues was generous, but women calling us from around the country want the offenders to apologize themselves. And for the abuse to stop.”
