Alito Stuff.

The Captain is live blogging the hearings and doing a great job. Orrin Hatch is also making some interesting observations:

2:14 - If the Democrats were as interested in fighting terror as they
are in fighting Alito, we'd all be safe.
2:16 - Very pleased with Alito's
performance; says his demeanor and performance ranks up there with John Roberts.
2:17 - Kennedy and Biden blew the Vanguard issue out of all proportion. He
reminded us that the agreement was that Alito would recuse himself from cases in
the initial period of his service.
2:20 - Hatch, like Frist, expects a
party-line vote.
2:22 - Abortion is the be-all, end-all issue that provides
the main identity for Democrats.
2:27 - Hatch says the GOP is ready to
counter a filibuster with the Constitutional option. He hopes that the Senate
would move away from treating the Supreme Court nominations through a partisan
filter. Republicans accepted Breyer and Ginsburg overwhelmingly because they
were qualified, regardless of their personal beliefs. He recalled when the
Democrats released medical records to smear Rehnquist.

You can't argue the fact that Breyer and Ginsburg got through and they were as leftwing as Alito is rightwing. Fairness just doesn't seem to be a word the Democrats understand.

Also read The Captain's post on women from "Operation Outcry" who came to support Alito and make people aware of the horror abortion has brought on their lives and the lies that were told that led to that place.
