Alito Unflappable, Democrats Unseemly 1/12/2006 "You've retired the trophy on equanimity."- Senator Feinstein on Judge Alito
Wall Street Journal: "It's a sign of how little Democrats have on Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito that on Day Three of his confirmation hearings they were still pounding away on his membership in an obscure Princeton alumni group that flowered briefly at the judge's alma mater. They can't touch him on credentials or his mastery of jurisprudence, so they're trying to get him on guilt by ancient association."
Sun-Times, Bob Novak: "Schumer led off a harsh, carefully scripted interrogation of the nominee. It made Chuck Schumer look mean and nasty, but that hardly derailed Sam."
Orlando Sentinel: "If senators are truly interested in what a nominee thinks, here's an idea: Shut up and let him speak."
Washington Times: "[Kennedy's request for a subpoena] was a stunt, and it failed in ways that prove how Senate Democrats have tossed reason out the window when it comes to Judge Samuel Alito. When the facts don't support you, get dramatic. . . . The only explanations are that Senate Democrats are utterly bereft of anything else to raise -- any issue of substance."
C-SPAN Video: The results of Kennedy's demand.
New York Times, David Brooks: "Kennedy misleadingly and maliciously asserted that Alito had never written a decision on behalf of an African-American. But those wild accusations don't carry weight any more. Rich liberals have been calling white ethnics bigots for 40 years."
USA Today: "Biden engaged in a rambling, self-indulgent soliloquy on his views on the Constitution, his dislike for Princeton University (Alito's alma mater), his grandfather's philosophy and even on another senator's eyeglasses."
New York Post: "Maybe now Americans will understand what a ruthless, partisan bunch of bullies walks the halls of Congress - pretending to statesman status. If they don't, they should talk to Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito's wife, Martha-Ann Bomgardner. After relentless attacks on her husband's character and decisions he made in his personal life decades ago, Alito's wife left the confirmation hearings yesterday in tears. Who can blame her? Much of the hearings have had nothing at all to do with Alito's judicial qualifications - and everything to do with Democrats looking for ways to smear him." |
