U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito and his wife Martha share a laugh on the third day of his Senate confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington January 11, 2006. Alito faced more aggressive questioning at his Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday from Democrats who accused him of evasive answers and challenged his commitment to keep an 'open mind' on abortion.

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) makes a point as she questions Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito during the third day of his senate confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill in Washington January 11, 2006. Alito sought on Wednesday to ease fears that he would seek to overturn the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion, but Democrats said they were not convinced. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst

Democratic party senators have criticized Alito's inability to recall details about his membership — which he listed on a Reagan administration job application in the 1980's — in a conservative organization that opposed the admission of women and minorities at Princeton University.

Of course, that's what they usually do, anyway. Decency is insulting to the Stalinist mob.

Democratic Senate Judiciary Committee member, Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y.,
watches Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel Alito during intense questioning
by committee Democrats on the third day of confirmation...
If we ever needed to see evidence of the difference between liberals and conservatives, we saw it again today. When you watch how the Democrats behave, it's discouraging to think they get any votes at all. The worst our country has to offer. I think if you could force the public to watch these hearings, the Rats would get less than 10 percent of the vote.
Someone on another thread said she was actually reacting to Lindsay Graham's tearful apology to them, and his kindness made her cry.
Either way, I couldn't sit there stoically either. Who could?
After he gets sworn in, JUSTICE ALITO should walk over and challenge the Swimmer to a duel!
I heard that also on the tube,, she was touched by Graham's apology made for the ingrates that have been incessantly badgering and lecturing the Judge.
Breyer and Ginsburg were treated with decency and honor by the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Democrats, on the other and, have no class at all. Graceless, snarling boors, every one of them.
That is the way it happened.
Judge Alito could. Talk about judicial temprement, that man shows NOTHING on his face, not even a hint of what he's thinking. He was BORN to be a judge on the USSC.
Someone should've asked Ted what he remembers about July 19, 1969.
You really have to watch the footage to understand how wonderful this will play for Alito. His wife was truly agonizing and it was obvious she highly esteems her husband. Sounds like a win/win to me. Kudos, Martha Alito for standing by your man!
Shame on Durbin, shame on Kennedy, shame on every senator who calls himself Catholic. While I am shaming, shame on the lot of them who are pro murdering babies and call themselves Christian, no matter what denomination they are. While I am shaming, shame on the Jewish senators who are for abortion, if there are any.
Where does Lieberman stand on the issue?
