The Alito trial, for that is what it is.

Judge Alito is being treated as if he is on trial. He is not an honored guest before a group of 18 arrogant Senators. The arrogance seeps out especially in the questioning by Kennedy, Biden, Leahy and sometimes even Feinstein. Abortion , NSA spying, Executive Power seems to be the problem with the leftist Dems. Leahy seems to think rights for Islamofascist terrorists should be expanded, not contracted. Freedom of religion has not come up yet. Border protection has not come up. Alito is a very responsible person and my guess is his understanding of Con-law and technical knowledge is so far superior to these Senators that he is sailing through. The nutter groups like the ACLU, NOW, PETA have all come out against Alito. Soros and the leftist fever swampers of course are against any rational judicial choice that a Republican President could announce. My guess is that Alito will indeed read the Constitution and not be a radical on any side. I feel safe with him. Kennedy does not. That alone makes Alito the right choice. There will be cases that I hope Alito judges correctly when it comes to eminent domaine, religious freedom, national security protection. My guess is Alito will defend America not undermine it as his leftist detractors would. That alone makes Sam Alito, a baseball fan of the Phillies btw, the right choice! LOL
