1. Resolution of this CAP crap, and yesterday's spat between Arlen and the Swimmer
2. Given all the media attention paid to Mrs. Alito's tears last night, look for all the GOP senators to take a much more agressive stance to the Dems...This has been the defining moment of the hearings so far....Sen Graham was wondeful last night, apologizing to the Judge and his family...but that was before everyone saw how big a play it got overnight and this morning...so there will be much more said by theGOP senators
3.
Possible BIG dust-up
Feingold asked for a list of all who advised/coached Alito during the prep for the hearings...There was mention in the media that Lindsay Graham helped him...some on the left wailed..the NY TIMES said it was inapporporaite in the he would then be voting on him, after helping him...If Feingold decides to make an issue of it..look for Lindsay to take the gloves off...could get ugly..
Specter will put the kibosh to any serious dust up on that. Feingold may try to have Alito appear less than fully independent, but the "Graham must recuse himself" argument isn't going to go anywhere.
If Feingold tries that, he's foolish. Not that I'd mind seeing it ;-)
The guys at Powerline commented that if Feingold insists on THAT information...perhaps the dems should have to hand over a list of any and all people that have helped THEM behind the scenes...
like oh, say, George Soros and CO.

They could always ask Feingold if NARAL, ACT, MOVEON coached him on what he is asking. Or did they just fund it.
