#1 Senate Democrats intend to zero in on Alitoâs alleged enthusiastic membership to an organization, they will charge, that was sexist and racist!

God damned Augusta National Country Club...

#3 Judge Alito's assertion that he cannot recall anything about his controversial involvement in CAP, requires us to find other ways of fulfilling our constitutional responsibility to get at the facts.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-Ma)

Kennedy Constitutional responsibility = name calling, loose associations, crass innuendo, tired clichÃ©s, spiteful insinuations, broad intimations, and demagoguery

#4 Senator Kennedy's assertion that he doesn't recall anything after Mary Jo Kopechne forced herself upon him ......

#5 Lets follow this logic....

Sen. Byrd is a Democrat
Sen. Byrd once was (and some say still is) a member of the KKK.

Conclusion: All democrats are current active members of the KKK and support its racist and antisemitic view fully.

#6 Last week one of the National Public Radio shows was all over the announcement by the non-partisan standing committee of lawyers to vet Supreme Court Justice candidates (sorry for that bit of linguistic awkwardness, but I am blanking on the actual name of this decades-old committee), which gave Alito its highest rating. So opponents to Alito cannot oppose him on any putative lack of professional ability (apparently he is a joy to argue cases in front of), and are stuck trying to argue that he would change the direction of the Court. However, in that same NPR program the reporter reminded listeners that the Supreme Court works very slowly, and even if Alito intended to change the direction of U.S. law, it would take multiple decades to achieve. Personally, it strikes me that legal conservatives are consideraby less likely to radically change things than so-called liberals, but it's quite possible that on this subject I don't actually know what I'm talking about. ;-)

#7 and even if Alito intended to change the direction of U.S. law, it would take multiple decades to achieve

wow, that's a great sign, TW. It says to me that they intend to milk the issue, but that they are preparing their listeners for the fact it is a battle that they don't expect to win.

#8 Got a blurb from Wisconsin Planned Parenthood whinnying about the terrible threat Alito poses. PPWI must be sending this to every woman in the state; I can't tell how else I would have gotten on their mailing list. Shall I count stridency in a mailing as a measure of panic?
