Y'know, I have nothing but contempt for these 'Rat Senators, especially the ones that sit on the Judiciary Committee. I like Biden better than some (Fat Bottomed Girl Clinton, Patty Murray and DiFi come to mind), but do not trust him at all.
They had ample time to get all their questions answered, and Alito did answer all substantive questions (as far as I saw). I watched most of the hearings and saw a decent, thoughtful man who was respectful of the Rule of Law.
There really was no reason to vote against him as far as I could see.
My own two Senators voted against him. One, the Dynamo from Dundalk, said she had too many unanswered questions. She must not have been doing her homework as Senator or she does not have the mental acuity to pay attention long enough.
It's unbelievable to me that such people are in positions of power.
I once interviewed the "Dynamo". I was not impressed. There's not a lot of stuff going on inside of her head - except for that part of her mind that concentrates on getting re-elected. And, God forgive me, she is awfully difficult to look at.
How do such people get into office? Well, they get elected. That's why I have never regretted moving from MA to VA.
