Apparently Alito Has Feelings

During his confirmation, Samuel Alito was asked - point blank - by Republican Senator Tom Coburn ( OK ) about his "feelings".

Senator, I tried to in my opening statement, I tried to provide a little picture of who I am as a human being and how my background and my experiences have shaped me and brought me to this point....

With regards to the "feelings" of a sitting Justice, it should be pointed out that Chief Justice John Roberts apparently has "feelings" that align him with ruling class whites, as he has sided consistently with conservative ideology when making decisions on cases that reach the SCOTUS.

Quote Of The Day

18 years ago.....

I have followed this man's career for some time, and he has excelled in everything that he has attempted. He is a delightful and warm, intelligent person, who has great empathy and a wonderful sense of humor. He's also a fiercely independent thinker with an excellent legal mind who believes passionately in equal opportunity for all Americans. He will approach the cases that come before the Court with a commitment to deciding them fairly, as the facts and the law require.

That's then Pres. George H.W. Bush, speaking about Judge Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court in 1991.

Hannity, Rush, O'Reilly, Beck, we're waiting for comment.
