MAYOR LAFFEY UNSURPRISED BY CHAFEES LACK OF LEADERSHIP
Mayor Laffey lamented Senator Chafees announcement this morning that he will vote to oppose Judge Alitos nomination in the Senate and cited the Senators announcement as further proof of Senator Chafees extremist positions.
It has been almost a week since the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to send Judge Alitos nomination to the full Senate. Almost all Republican Senators have announced their positions, and numerous moderate Democrats have come out in favor of the nomination. Senator Chafees indecision and now, his opposition, leaves one to wonder what his true intentions are. Snip.......
What are Laffey's chances against Chaffee? Slim and none?
