The ACLU claims to protect civil liberties and the Dems on committee tried to paint Alito as a bigot. Yet Alito has a long history of sticking up for free speech and other civil rights. The ACLU’s support for civil rights apparently ends when it has to do with an issue they disagree with, like wearing religious symbols (ACLU v Schundler, 1999).

Of course they are upset, but at the Republicans partisan vote, not the Democrats. Nevertheless, its obvious to everyone else that the Dems on the committee were incapable of ignoring the pressure to vote against Judge Alito, even with his impeccable credentials and high standing with the ABA.
And, from his record, its evident that he stands for the laws of the Constitution, not what the President commands (even thoug he too has the utmost regard for our Constitution).

It would be extremely interesting if Cheney had to break the tie…talk about a close call. However, there is no reason for this vote to be that close! Alito is clearly qualified and has the support of the President, his former colleagues and the American public. I really think some red state Dems will come through and vote to confirm Alito.

Alito Passes Judiciary Committee
The Judiciary Committee favorably recommended Samuel Alito&#8217;s Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate. But watch closely for the hypocrisy and petty partisanship.

It’s “Howdy Judge” time!
I’m posting this in the spirit of my far left leaning friends. By spirit I mean that, in the loony left’s way of thinking; MY opinion is the only opinion that matters. The first amendment applies to only me. Sit
