Judiciary Committee staffers working on the Alito nomination have finished reviewing the Rusher papers concerning Concerned Alumni of Princeton. These are the results of the examination, from an internal Republican memo:
Committee Staff reviewed more than four boxes of documents from the personal files of William Rusher concerning CAP.
Judge Alito’s name NEVER appears in any document of any kind anywhere:
* His name was not mentioned in any of the letters to or from founder William Rusher.
* His name was not mentioned in any of the letters to or from CAP’s long-time Executive Director T. Harding Jones.
* His name does not appear anywhere in the dozens of letters to CAP or from CAP.
* The files contain canceled checks for subscriptions to CAP’s magazine, Prospect, but none from Judge Alito.
* The files contain dozens of articles, including investigative exposés written at the height of the organization’s prominence, but Sam Alito’s name is nowhere to be found in any of them.
* Rusher’s files contain lists of the board of directors, the advisory board, and contributors to both CAP and Prospect magazine, but none of the lists contains Alito’s name.
* Tellingly, the files contain minutes and attendance records from CAP meetings in 1983 and 1984—just before Alito listed the organization on his job application, but Alito did not attend those meetings and he was not even mentioned in the minutes.
* The files contain dozens of issues of CAP’s magazine, but none of the articles was written by, quoted, or even mentioned Sam Alito.
"some beach"...it just ain't fair.
They're going to say he lied on his resume.
Exactly what I thought. gmta
Listening to NPR yesterday in the car on the way home, Robert Siegel was interviewing Jeff Sessions and Patrick Leahy. Over and over and over again he refered to CAP as "Conservative Alumni of Princeton". Not once did Sessions correct him. There is clearly a specific reason he did this instead of calling CAP by its real name.
