Things Heat Up For Alito - Must Be A Time For Tears

This should have been foreseen as part of the strategy for alito's handlers. When the questions get too rough or center in an aspect or deed that is totally outlandish you have 2 choices, (1) - you get into a word battle with the questioner and if you decide to answer, it is so convoluted no one can decipher what the hell you said, or (2) - the well-coached wife springs open the faucets on each side of her eyes and goes for the sympathy vote from those present or viewing on TV (much like Duke Cunningham who has suddenly found Religion). Then to add more salt into the wound, Lindsay Graham (who was in on the preparation of for the hearing) spouts off with a bunch of inane comments including the old "cliche/question" of "When did you stop beating your wife?" or "Are you really a closet bigot?? Now just what the hell is this supposed to do except give a delay to the hearings so he can meet with his handlers (Graham included) to decide what answer should be given to these uncomfortable actions and decisions he made. Then to make the photo-op even MORE intense, he will also hold his wife's hand and parade her by all the media cameras so only her (IMO STAGED TEARS) will be shown over and over and over, as long as this staged affair comes to a close, thereby showing that those evil Democrats on the committee are a group of cold-hearted neanderthals out to damage Alito and his family at any cost. Well let me suggest that the Republicans think back and remember the impact their questions (based in XXX smut and how did it affect the family of Bill Clinton. Of course you didn't give two shits about the effect on Bill, Hillary, or Chelsea. Or think of all children who are suffering and crying out of hunger because of those "compassionate conservatives" who cut funding to the needy to may their friends and corporations richer. So you get NO sympathy from this individual. If your wife can't stand the heat in the hearing room then let her stay in that high-price hotel suite being paid for by the US taxpayers. I only have one other comment about alto and what he calls his "non-agenda" - yah right - and I am going to be the next Prime Minister of Canada. This nominee is being put up for two reasons only. 1 - George wants another supporter on the Supreme Court where it is almost certain that the illegal surveillance program will end up. Secondly, Alito (and the new Chief Justice John Roberts) both never met a corporate case they didn't love, especially if it is at the expense of the little guy and favors the top who are members in the Bush elite section of the populace. Everyone is focusing in on the abortion issue and rightly so. I however believe the main issues that should be addressed in this vetting process are simple and basic. Personal Privacy, and less intrusion of the Government into the personal lives of the Citizens of the United States. Protect those two principles and the rest will take care of itself. Unless these basic freedoms are protected, I shudder to think of the fascist state that awaits the United States People. I have one further question for all you alto supporters. This one concerns the outright support by alto that the Presidents Powers are all encompassing that he can change, ignore, or use this new-found tactic suggested by alto himself. That the President can attach a signing statement to the legislation he signs saying he has no intention of following this legislation if HE and ONLY HE feels it is two confining for his current agenda. How very interesting, that one of the pieces of legislation he chose to use this for was the recent bill regarding the user of torture. And don't forget his comment regarding the current NSA spying controversy. His attitude is I and ordered it, and will continue using it. It is time to show the legislative, administrative, and the judicial are not above any law as the Imperial President and "self-proclaimed" dictator believes. Do you realize your members of Congress that by allowing this to go on there will have absolutely NO reason to have a Congress or Senate? Therefore you are no longer needed in Washington to represent your constituents? Instead the people will be ruled over by a new Neocon King who ironically will be called George. The same name as the King the country broke from. Think carefully my friends. If this doesn't worry you then go ahead a do nothing, and while your at it, kiss your freedoms and your beloved Country go down. If you truly care, contact all your members of Congress, no matter what party affiliation, and let them know your feelings about the appointment of Strip Search Sammy to a lifetime term who along with the likes of Thomas and Scalia will change the United States as we know it.
