The Alito Hearings

I'm going to blow a gasket, quite literally.

That Alito - a man who certainly must know how many Americans feel about Italian Americans or "wops" as I spent my childhood hearing - was part of a campaign to exclude women and minorities from Princeton and now pretends - like the Federalist Society - that he did not engage is beyond the pale. It tells you a LOT about how honest a man he is and how privileged he feels himself to be.

And he'll be confirmed because the only ones who can make it onto the Supreme Court under Bush are pieces of crap like Alito with no concern for the truth and no sense that he should be held accountable for his actions. Someone who cannot answer a single question without dancing about doesn't belong in any courtroom, let alone the Supreme Court.

And I'd pay money to see Mrs. Alito hit with a dead fish while she sits there smiling beneficently while her husband dodges questions knowing he'll take the right of choice from women at his first opportunity. After all, women like Mrs. Alito and her fashionable daughter always will have choice. They can go to a private doctor who will do a D&C and write it up as a diagnostic procedure rather than as an abortion. If you aren't well-heeled, that won't happen.
