LOL! Point well taken.
Out of Committee Larry Tribe will speak even when not asked, even in non legal matters, offering half witted economic theories with the hope that someone will obey.
Yeah - but what Tribe didn't expect was that his framing of testimony, the very words, "I'm not here to testify against the confirmation of Alito," would be the subject for discussion. Hoist on his own petard. Lesson is, if you are against, say so, and then defend your conclusion.
