Exactly. Only you used language that I could not. I know what it is like to bury a child. I can imagine the heartache mixed with anger, in parents who know who caused the death of their child. (No, my son did mot die of any preventable cause.)

Your comments make me wonder how Mary Jo's mother must have felt, if she even watched the hearings.

If they were family friends, how could she not watch?
Really. As a mother, I would have, no matter if it ate me alive.

I, like some others, wonder if Teddy had any clue that the Alito's knew Mary Jo's family. He might have known, once upon a time. If I could stand it, I'd love to have been in Teddy's brain when he realized Miers wasn't going up and she'd been replaced by Alito. Was it an ambush or did he have to watch it coming slowly down the road right at him?
