A Little Alito (Pt 3)...

A talking head put the question of what was the purpose of confirmation hearings forward, and after listening what he had to say, I have to confess that he did make a decent argument. The idea of Alito being confirmed wakes me up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, and anything that can be done to prevent his ascent to SCOTUS is welcomed, but do we honestly expect him to admit to Senator Kennedy et al that if given the chance, he would or would not consider shredding Roe v Wade? Does anyone genuinely expect him to spew the alarming commentary that he claimed was just a case of youthful brown-nosing in front of the Senate? He has obviously been coached to give as vague a response as possible. From what I have researched of him, he is a considerable threat; the proverbial wolf-in-sheep-clothing. Personally, that was enough for me to rule him out.
