Alito Hearings Expose Sen. Dems.

Wow!

I never thought I would see the complete embarrassment, and so thorough of a thumping, that the Democrat party took this last week in my lifetime.

It was obvious from the start, that Senate Democrats were not at all interested in learning about Alito’s background.

No, they were only interested in their own “face time,” and then hoping to smear Alito as a concomitant sidebar.

It was laughable, as these Democrat windbags, including Senators Biden, Leahy, Schumer, and Kennedy, used 75% of their time to babble incoherently, only to be leveled by Alito in his mere 25% of time left for rebuttal.

It was so obvious these fools were only reading questions prepared by their staffs, because when Alito responded, they could never offer any credible follow-up.

Sen. Kennedy claimed Alito had never ruled in favor of a minority.

Within 24 hours, 4 cases were brought out to quickly refute that irresponsible statement.

You would think that after the way John Roberts ran circles around them a few months ago, that this time around they would be ready with solid questions backed up by facts.

But no, they just attacked with an obvious pre-prepared smear campaign. Can you imagine the complete arrogance that must have taken?

They also kept trying to get him to state that Roe vs. Wade is settled law, which he refused to become pinned down on.

Why? Because Roe vs. Wade is one of the worst decisions in the history of the Supreme Court.

Think about it, what Roe vs. Wade did was invent a new constitutional right (try finding a "right to privacy" in the Consitiution, hint: it's not there), thereby circumventing the legislative process.

The reason Roe vs. Wade needs to be overturned really has nothing to do with abortion, it has to do with correcting a judicial overreach so that the legislative process can deal with this divisive issue.

So far; Bush Supreme Court candidates: 2; out-classed, self-absorbed, Democrat Senators and their staffs: 0.
