Ted Kennedy's (D-MA) office is behind a last ditch effort to stop Judge Samuel A. Alito's confirmation before next week's vote using a 2004 recusal request. THE DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a complaint filed by H. Gerard Heimbecker of Upper Darby, PA accusing Alito of not properly listing the Heimbecker v. 555 Associates case in his Senate questionnaire. Kennedy legal aide James Flug is behind the efforts to push this latest attack. The veteran aide has been criticized for Sen. Kennedy's misfires during the Alito hearing last week. Flug was reportedly behind the attacks Kennedy used against Alito related to the Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP) and Vanguard recusal case. In the 2004 case, Heimbecker not only filed a request for Alito to recuse himself but also the entire Third Circuit as well. One Capital Aide aware the situation challenged Heimbecker's credibility. "The individual who filed this complaint is clearly a serial litigant. It will be interesting to see how far the Democrats will push this and what the mainstream media will make of it." <<

Originally Posted By RoadTrip You guys are real moonbats (yes, conservatives can be moonbats too). Everyone in the Senate pretty much supports and expects Alito to be confirmed.

Still, if the Democrats are to save face with their more liberal constituents, they need someone to "take one for the team" so they can't be accused of selling out. Kennedy is the one that's been chosen to take the hit. Why not? He will always be re-elected in Massachusetts and he is totally irrelevant to the rest of the country, so he's a natural. Alito gets confirmed, and the Democrats have an old warhorse the can trot out if they get flack from the left about selling out. Everybody’s happy. Got that?
Originally Posted By StillThePassHolder RT, you're preaching to the choir with me. I've said all along Alito is going to get confirmed. Ideology aside, he's eminently qualified for the job. Some conservative moonbats here aren't happy unless they can try and stir up a bogeyman at every turn, however.
Originally Posted By Beaumandy STPH, you said Alito would get some token resistance before the hearings started. I told you then he was going to get smeared, and smeared he got for no reason whatsoever. Bush wins again on this one and he can point to the scorboard when the Cape Cod Orca, Ted Kennedy, opens his mouth next time.

Originally Posted By Beaumandy I just told you what you predicted before the hearings. You said Alito would get token resistance. I think smearing a guy to the point his wife has to leave in tears is more than token resistance... but whatever.
Originally Posted By StillThePassHolder Beau, you must live for proving me right. Find any bogeymen today? He got token resistance. If his wife cries over whatever that was, then apparently she must cry watching Dancing With The Stars. If you think that was smearing, then you might want to think twice before calling ME sensitive next time.
Originally Posted By Beaumandy They tried to call Alito a racist and a sexist and a liar..and that wasn't wven getting into his actual ability to judge. It didn't work, but it was still way out of bounds and the dems came out looking like a holes again.

Originally Posted By Beaumandy I'm not a political leader questioning a supreme court justice nominee in front of the world like Teddy Kennedy and the rest of the democrat gang who you now seem to agree with. Thanks for your vote for Bush though.
Originally Posted By Beaumandy Your downplaying his circus act with Alito and his total smear job. I would call that giving him support. You must be bored tonight.
Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <Everyone in the Senate pretty much supports and expects Alito to be confirmed.
