Boo Hoo

Sammy Strip Search Alito's wife burst into tears yesterday, as you probably know, during the questioning by Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
"Are you really a closet bigot?"
SSS answered, "No."
Graham said, "No sir, you're not."

Then Sen Hatch suggested that the Democrats made her cry. All the Democrats were trying to do was find out how Alito views women's rights. I am glad that they pursued this line of questioning. Makes me wonder, however, if Mrs. Alito wasn't put up to this.

The AP reports today that Sen. Biden suggests that the hearings should be scrapped because

"Nominees now, Democrat and Republican nominees, come before the United States Congress and resolve not to let the people know what they think about the important issues," such as a president's authority to go to war, said Biden.

Biden told the Today Show that a better solution might be to skip hearings and send nominations straight to the Senate floor for a vote.
