Plus, I also qualified my initial remarks, which has been conveniently ignored. I said if it wasn't directed at me, then see my comments again about coherency.

Doesn't that comment seem a little unfair, and unbalanced?

"Stephen Dujack '76, an environmental writer, had been outspoken in his condemnation of the group, Concerned Alumni of Princeton, which during the 1970s criticized the University's move to coeducation and adoption of affirmative action. Opponents of Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court had seized on his membership in the group to show that he is out-of-step with mainstream America on core issues." "Though it wasn't immediately clear why Dujack was removed from the Democrats' witness list, some observers believe he was vulnerable to attacks over an April 2003 Los Angeles Times column he wrote that compared animals killed in slaughterhouses with victims of the Holocaust."

Again, this nothing, absolutely nothing. Alito has ALWAYS been a strong nomination. Do you hope to find bogeymen under your bed at night?

The democrats don't have that much class and you know it. They are going to try and smear this man simply because Bush nominated him. They TRIED to get a witness to smear him but their witness was a wack job so that plan didn't work. The dems don't care that Alito is Qualified. They want to stop anything Bush is for regardless of how much they have to lie, distort, and smear. In fact, don't be surprised if they don't try and fillibuster.

Senator Feinstein echoed this thought, saying that she most likely will filibuster against Alito if she concludes that he'll vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. --- Why are these democrats such morons?? Why do they have to rely on fear and scaring ignorant people? Even if Roe gets overturned, as it should because it's horriible law, abortion will STILL be legal in the 50 states.
