I see that the opposition comes from people who do NOT know Alito, and also from those who are making money by inventing hysterical charges against him and President Bush.

Notice how none of the "anti-alito" witnesses really KNOW him...

ALL of the "Pro-Alito" witnesses personally know him and have worked closely with him.

I was just about to post those very thoughts.

Of course they oppose.

Know Alito? No. Make money off opposing him and President Bush? Yes.

ALL of the "Pro-Alito" witnesses personally know him and have worked closely with him.

The final witness is taking that point, labeling it "collegiality," and dismissing the testimony on that basis alone. His argument is that collegiality is a commodity, and that the evaluation of the the nominee should be based on his record of decisions.

And so, he will go on to distort that record.
