Made-For-TV Antics In Alito Hearings, According to Democrats
From Senate Democrat
Robert Byrd from West Virginia demonstrating how
out of touch with the American people so many of the extremes of
liberalism in Congress have been:
"Many people and including foremost, as I
say, the people of West Virginia in most uncertain terms, were, frankly,
appalled by the Alito hearings. I don't want to say it but I must. They were
appalled. In the reams of correspondence that I received during the Alito
hearings, West Virginians -- the people I represent -- West Virginians who wrote
to criticize the way in which the hearings were conducted used the same two
words. People with no connection to one another, people of different faiths,
different views, different opinions, independently and respectively used the
same two words to describe the hearings. They called them an "outrage" and a
"disgrace."...
"It is especially telling that many who
objected to the way in which the Alito hearings were conducted do not support
Judge Alito. In fact, it is sorely apparent that even many who oppose Judge
Alito's nomination also oppose the seemingly made-for-TV antics that accompanied
the hearings...
In the end, the heavy duty bourne by members of the Senate to evaluate
and reject or approve the President’s nominees for the high court
should come down to each Senator’s personal judgment of the man or
woman before us, augmented, of course by such judicial records and
writings as may exist. I know not exactly what kind of Justice Samuel
Alito may actually be - - no one does. But my considered judgment from
his record, from his answers to my questions, and from his obvious
intelligence and sincerity, leads me to believe him to be an honorable
man, who loves his country, loves his Constitution, and will give of
his best. Can we really ask for more?1"
