**Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., has said he expects to vote for Alito, calling him “supremely qualified.”**
Smith will get my vote when he is up for re-election.
Smith voted (along with every other Republican) to add "new sections of trail" to the National Trails System. I own property that was used briefly (South Alternate Oregon Trail)by emigrants. I kept in contact with Smith all the time, met with him, etc. and told him all about the lies and underhanded ways in which OCTA was operating to add my property to their trails system. He acted all concerned and told me he supported private property rights and then went and voted for the bill. To he!! with him.
