Alito hearings, morning edition
11:00 AM: OK, he's getting his ass kissed a little too much for my taste. I'm going to break for a while. In the meantime, look out for bloggers for choice...
10:30 AM: Alito is talking about his Princeton days and how he "doesn't recall" being involved with a less-than-desirable student organization. (You know the kind that doesn't like women or non-whites in school.)
10:11 AM: Now on to presidential power. Alito says, "no one is above the law." How Chuck Norris of him. He's not giving up anything though. Wow, I didn't think he could be as evasive as he was on Roe. How wrong I was.
10:05 AM: Ok, is anyone else completely distracted by the woman behind Alito and
her big green puffy shirt? Actually, I think that's his wife. My bad.
9:57 AM: Alito keeps talking about stare decisis and it's just killing me. He's not really giving anything up on Roe or Casey. Or maybe I'm just not listening hard enough...
9:47 AM: And Specter pulls out the big-ass chart! Super duper.
9:40 AM: And we get right into Roe!
Alito is talking about stare decisis and Roe. Haven’t we already talked about how this is completely useless? Precedent, my ass.
Such evasion...but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

For all of you who read this and are enraged by the fact that if Alito is not FILIBUSTERED we have the potential to lose a multitude of civil rights we currently have -- you MUST CALL YOUR SENATOR today and everyday until Alito's nomination is defeated! You can access your senator through the senate switchboard 202-224-3121 and/or at www.senate.gov. Also if you have additional time to fight for your rights, call the Senate Judiciary Committee Members: http://judiciary.senate.gov/
Hey all. Thanks for this blog! Good stuff.
Does anyone know who the woman is sitting behind Alito on his left hand side? Not his wife with the glasses. Is she counsel?
... who doesn't get it? Roe v Wade is DEAD - as DEAD as Terry Schiavo was even before they finally pulled the plug. SCALITO - er, um , Alito - is going to be confirmed. It's the demographics, I'm afraid. The baby-boomers are aging and the majority of them have already had their abortions. They could not care less about abortion rights any more. Now they're like Pres. GW Bush who says he's learned his lessons and is now justified in applying them to everyone else. Oh, even more so - many of the baby-boomers now feel *guilty* about their "wilder" days and suppose they can redeem themselves by standing by while Roe v Wade is dismantled. Do I like it? No. Makes me sick. But that's the reality of it, folks. Too many people stood by while the clinics were bombed and doctors and nurses were murdered. Now it's too late.
