Kennedy has to know the devil!

Up close and personal surely.

Maybe if you'd stick around for the hearings, you'd know this was already answered quite handily yesterday.

EXACTLY! Has to go take a nip in between. It's really quite sad.

Didn't a Republican Senator bring up something about Vanguard yesterday that sounded like Alito only had to refrain from sitting on cases pertaining to Vanguard for some initial period of time and the Republican said it was never considered that an initial period of time would be thought to be 12 years.

Hatch - he did the same today.

FOX News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said not only are Democrats misrepresenting Alito, they are misrepresenting the CAP.

"It lobbied that as co-education flourished, the member of males would not be decreased. I have no recollection of Sam being a member of the organization or involved in any way and I was on the board for seven or eight years in the late '70s and early '80s," Napolitano said.

"The Democrats are painting CAP with a brush that it doesn't deserve. Its principle thirst in the late 70s and early 80s, in addition to maintaining the number of male undergraduates, was to make sure that ROTC stayed on campus. Sam and I were classmates. In our senior year, as members of ROTC, we had to leave Princeton and go to a state school because radicals at Princeton had firebombed the ROTC offices and rather than building little new offices, the university just let the military leave and stay off campus," Napolitano added.

Tubby is trying sooooo hard to impugn Alito's integrity.

Ironic, isnt' it!

HE'S accusing Alito of being too liberal? Kicking the ROTC off campus? ROFL!

Trust me, you do not want to see this man(?) on a plasma tv. It truly does look like his head could spatter in many directions.

I'm out here in Mountain Time, so was able to listen on satellite radio for an hour while I was driving out of town. Now I'm trapped myself while working and can't watch or listen right now either... depending on these quick moments of checking this thread.

Another great moment was Brownback's litany of quotations from liberal legal scholars showing that they fully recognize that Roe v. Wade is NOT the "settled law of the land."

Alito has been truly amazing in how carefully he is navigating the minefield of the questioning. His command of the case law and statutory law is so far above that of the Senators questioning him that it isn't even funny.

He takes a loaded, emotional question by a Democrat (or even by a Republican, for that matter), and answers it with detailed (but not obscure) fact and clear and easy to follow legal reasoning. His performance, in my opinion, is far out-doing Roberts. He's just not as telegenic or affable, but he grows on you. I think he's even growing on the Dems in spite of themselves, and it's driving them crazy.

Back to work.

C'mon, Ted. Get in touch with reality.

Rational people think that 12 years is W-a-a-a-y beyond an "initial" period.

The big problem is that these senators depend on incompetent, ignorant staff who, themselves, are vying for "top dog" status with the senator. Pathetic how stupid they all really are.

Great postk, thank you Agrarian!

I am hearing from those who can watch that he is surpassing Roberts (who set the bar pretty high)
