Once again the democrats on the Judiciary Committee showed their true colors. For days they were screaming about Judge Alito not being open minded and that Republicans had already made up their minds on how they would vote. When it came time for the panel of Judges former and sitting Judges on the 3rd circuit court, very few Democrats even showed up. Senators Leahy and Feingold try to suggest that it was unethical for the Judges of the Third Circuit to testify at the hearings. Senator Leahy was present for a short time while the Judges were testifying but left after a short time. Senator Kennedy showed up late and only stayed about 10 minutes the only Democrat Senator to even have the courtesy to sit and listen was Senator Fienstien.Now one would assume that they would want to hear from the people who worked with the man for 15 years. Each of the  seven Judges spoke to their experiences working with judge Alito. Did they all agree with him all the time no and that was the general theme even if Judge Alito did not agree he always kept an open mind and listened to every argument. Some were settle in their criticism of the committee others were not but in the end it showed how immensely qualified Judge Alito is.

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.
