Views From The Rght Side

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.
