Dear Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr., defended two of his past rulings, which involved corporations and firms of which he was affiliated, saying that he violated no laws, according to the Washington Post. In both cases, Alito ruled in favor of the groups in which he was associated with, which were Vanguard Group Inc. and Smith Barney Inc. The White House is justifying this behavior stating that a "courthouse 'computer screening program' had failed to alert Alito to step aside in the Vanguard case." Apparently Alito is one the few people in the legal system that is only able recognizes his chums when he is personally notified by his secretary. This is the lamest excuse yet. Karl Rove obviously did not come to work today.
As for Alito's rulings: illegal? Perhaps. Unethical? Undoubtedly.
