I only know what my friend's mother says Judge Alito's mother told her.
In twenty years, my friend has never lied to me about even the smallest thing. And his mother is an upstanding solid person without the slightest hint of nut about her.
I don't know if the story is true, but I can't identify anybody who would lie in that group, assuming the judge's mom is telling the truth.
I really just posted it to see if somebody could confirm it or prove it wrong. I don't expect anybody to prove it wrong though, because I trust my source.
Besides -- in tribute to your legendary humor, which I love -- even if the story is not true, it should be. :-)
