Yesterday the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have gone to a new low. For hours Kennedy,Biden.Shumer Fienstein and Durbin constantly berating Judge Alito stopping short of coming strait out and calling therm man a liar and racist. They have trashed this man for the last three days in front of the nation and his family, and why did they do it because he was nominated by a Republican President that they hate beyond reason. Seeing this outrageous conduct has for the first time ashamed of my country that this defamation of this man is even allowed to take place. The fact that this only happens when a Republican President. I have to give a Thank You to Senator Graham of South Carolina for stepping up an apologizing to Judge Alito and His Family. Seeing his wife get up and leave the room crying after listening to three days of her husband being denigrated the apology from Senator Graham was truly a very low point for our nation. I can not even imagine how his wife and children have felt sitting there to here this good man dragged through the mud. After three days of being grilled on the fact he belonged to a group of alumni from Princeton University and being excused of being a racist and sexist by Kennedy, Shumer,Durbin and all of the left wing groups have accused the man,they finally looked at the records that Kennedy made such a fool of his self over. What did they find NOTHING not once in four boxes of documents was Judge Alito’s name anywhere, no canceled checks, no articles, no attendance at meetings nothing. Of course anyone with the slightest bit of manners would apologize for the accusations falsely made against this man but no Senator Kennedy is just going to keep making the same basic false claims. It is well past the time that the people of this country demand tern limits on Senators and limits on the time someone can serve on a committee.

Senator Specter started the questioning of Judge Alito this morning. Of course the first thing was the abortion issue and overturning Roe. This is an issue that should have never been in the courts to begin with. Judge Alito when he was given a chance to fully answer he said that each case is decided by the Law,Constitution and Precedent, and every case must be met with an open mind to the arguments on each side. Senator Specter seemed a little surprised by the answer and ask the judge if he meant that he would look at each case with an open mind,the answer was yes. Senator Leahey of course started right off with Executive Power. While he tried to to change the same question around many times Judge Alito steadfastly held that he could not say more than the President must follow the law just like Congress and the Courts. And he could not say unless he had all the facts in the case including whether the law Congress passed was Constitutional and the reason and facts of the individual case. Senator Hatch basically retouched on a few of the same issues basically to clarify the Judges answers on a few questions asked by Senator Leahey. Senator Kennedy started his questioning of course straight out with Executive Power which was more of a statement than questions. Then he moved on to a case involving the US Marshall’s and the eviction of a family from a farm.Kennedy wanted to know how the Judge ruled that the actions of the Marshall’s was justified when they had their weapons out and used minimal force to execute the eviction. Judge Alito respond by clarifying that there were other issues in that case including the family in question had already threatened people and the government had information that there very well be weapons on the property. Of course Kennedy focused on the minority opinion, to say that Alito’s view in the majority were wrong. Again they go to the search of a 10 year old girl. Mind you that this was a drug raid and dealers use children all the time to hind drugs on or to transport them. The search was carried out in private with a female officer and her mother present. The question in the case was did the warrant they have would it permit the search of persons also at the location. Alito’s opinion was yes but he was in the minority. Then we go to the Terrorist Bill Of Rights, which should have never been passed to begin with and weather the President has the right to in extreme cases to over rule the law. Rightly he did not answer that question because it more that likely will come before the court. All he would say was he would have to know all the FACTS in the case to give a opinion.

As the opening statements of the senators go on the rate of hypocrisy is already at a high level. Senator Leahy starts off the bunch with stating his disappointment that Judge Alito was not diverse enough,that the president overlooked Blacks,Latinos and other minorities that would have made the court more diverse. So once again we see that the issues that matter to the Democrats have nothing to do with the person’s qualifications. I could not help but laugh when Ted Kennedy had the gaul to question if the nominee would up hold "equal justice under the law"? Now considering the fact that Mr. Kennedy would and should be in prison for the death of a young girl and got away with it solely because of his Daddy’s money. That is one of the most idiotic statements so far. So what would he know about equal justice for all. Next we have Senator Biden telling the nominee that "It is not his fault he is replacing the first woman on the court". Yes I am sure that was keeping the man up at night. And stating he he doesn’t understand why judges should not answer questions that may come before the court. Well Senator it is because they are supposed to be impartial. You would think someone in the Senate that long would know that answer by now.So true to par the liberals are once again showing how much they distain anything that holds up the values this Nation was founded on.

In a few hours the battle will begin in the Senate Judiciary committee over the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Of course the democrats on the committee have already made up their minds about weather or not they will vote for him. Senator Feinstein D Ca has said she would filibuster of Judge Alito if she thinks he is against Roe the right of abortion on demand. I’m still trying to find where the Constitution says it is a right to kill your child, I can’t find it and I don’t think people who support it can find it either. Senator Shumer D-NY says if Alito refuses to answer questions because they may come before him on the court it would increase the likely hood of a filibuster. I truly find it amazing that Democrats think they have the absolute right to demand a Judge tell them before he or she even looks at a case should tell them how they would vote on that case.I find it amusing that is only true for nominees under a Republican President. The arrogance of the Left never ceases to amaze me and many others. There is not one legitimate reason the Judge Alito should not be confirmed, he is extremely qulified and experienced. But I guees for the Left that does not matter.
