Unreal. The Democrats had two concerns: civil rights for terrorists and aborting their future voters. And they were surprised to discover Americans yawned. The party's 9/10 mindset is utterly inadequate to the stormy present. I wager they're issues most Americans could care less about. No wonder Sam Alito's going to be confirmed. For the simple reason the Democrats can't find one serious reason why he shouldn't sit on the High Court. As far as questioning goes, it couldn't get more banal than an interest in an ancient sorority membership. Why with luck like that, the Democrats may finally be able to block President Bush's next Supreme Court nomination.
