Sorry, I meant that the other crewmen would have drowned had he not saved them. That's my understanding anyway.
Hearing that chorus from the gallery-or the committe itself, I can't figure out which, since I'm not watching the proceedings-was kind of funny.
This judge campaigned by JFK and when he ran as judge, he ran on the democratic ticket. Robert Kennedy was a key supporter.
He makes this point because political loyalties becomes irrelevant when one becomes a judge.
That was from Leahy.
Alito has a great smile!
Good stuff from Aldisert. GOOD stuff.
It was Leahy. It was pretty funny. I got a good laugh out of it.
Here's what Scotusblog said
3:38: Senator Specter is introducing Judge Aldisert who begins his statement.
3:37: Judge Trump Barry has concluded her statement.
Trump Barry agrees with "every glowing statement" said about Alito. Emphasizes that Judge Alito reveres the rule of law and will serve as a marvelous Justice.
Trump Barry is testifying to Alito's skill as an attorney in the US Attorney's Office. She belives Alito set a level of excellence that was contagious in the office. Was fundamentally decent. The AUSA's who worked for him were proud to do so.
3:32: Judge Trump Barry begins her statement. Judge Alito and Trump Barry have known each other since 1977. She was the chief of the appeals division when Alito joined the US Attorney's Office.
3:31: Judge Alito is an admirable judge and person. Scirica concludes his statement.
This man has been a judge for 45 years of his 86 years.
He says that Judge Alito must be included among the first rank of judges he has served with.
He did tear up.
Did you know Judge Barry is The Donald's sister?
He is 86-looks good.
can you see the smile on my face?
I do now! LOL ;-)
Kennedy still can't look at anybody. He's a loser. BIGTIME.
He THINKS he owns the Senate. Well, I have a bit of news for him..HE DOESN'T!
hehehehehehe .. that should send them nuts
He's 86 yo and going strong! Intellectually alert. Forceful speaker. God bless him and may he live to at least 100!
Ruggero Aldisert....... This guy is awesome.
Hatch did cry. Didn't you see him wiping away his tears with a hankie ? It was sweet.
Oh I know, I just hate to see it. But I can't turn away either. And I hate what they are trying to do to a very good man and excellent judge.
