I was asked how I "thought the Alito hearings went" by a Repub friend of mine. I was about ready to let go with a blazing damnation of the Judiciary Committee Democrats when i realized that it was exactly what my right wing friend was waiting for me to do....
So, instead, he got this:
The Dems did a damned fine job of exposing Alito for his extreme right wing views. Why, no good, self-respecting American could possibly stand behind a man like Alito because of his beliefs on the "unitary executive". That's not a what we have in a democracy.
And also, I think they did an excellent job of pointing out that he violated ethics rules by not recusing himself from a case he had a financial interest in...and that was after he promised to do so... that alone should disqualify him from the bench.
It was also interesting that the Dems got it into the record that Alito had to be coached in a "moot Court" by members of the Department of Justice AND the NSA in order to answer, or more accurately NOT ANSWER, questions on the illegal wiretaps. That just shows that he isn't up for the job.
All-in-all....the Dems did a damned fine job of showing the American people who Samual Alito REALLY IS!.
