Senate Democrats'
immoral reality show

Watching the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Judge Samuel Alito was like watching an alien reality show with cake-faced old floppers, a contumacious old sot – who proves your last name can act as a life preserver when you drunkenly drive off a bridge, killing an innocent young lady in the process – assorted plagiarizers, a former Ku Klux Klansman and oleaginous pontificators instead of little green men.

The most insulting aspect of the hearings for me was threefold – the outcome was predetermined, the opposition was predetermined and the sound bites were predetermined.

The opposition was staged and ready in advance. They simply recycled the same accusations and allegations that they have been using for last 30-plus years. A case in point: In 1990, the National Organization of Women distributed flyers that read "Stop Souter or women will die. Last week they sent flyers saying, "Save women's lives. Vote no on Alito."

In point of fact, these groups have form flyers and letters at the ready. It doesn't matter who is nominated by a Republican president, their primal cry is and always will be the same. They are a one-trick pony whose accusations are always that blacks will suffer and women will die.

This brings me to my next point of contempt for the liberals who participated in the confirmation hearings. They are premeditated liars and distorters. They are interested only in grandstanding, pontificating and character assassination. They are blowhards who gave 10- and 12-minute speeches intended to berate the nominee with each question. None are guiltier of such behavior than Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Together Schumer, Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Pat Leahy, D-Vt., Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., Joe Biden, D-Del., Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Russ Feingold, D-Wis., were caught in 53 outright falsehoods during the first three full days of hearings. They have been guilty of insults and personal attacks on Judge Alito and his family – even going so far as to insinuate that he manipulated legal proceedings in such a way as to secure favorable verdicts for mobsters because of his Italian ancestry.

While it is impossible to suggest their belligerence is anything out of character for them, one must question under what plausible rights of propriety can a person, who – by virtue of his last name – cheated justice in a more-than-suspicious drowning death, now sit on such a committee.

Plagiarizers by their very nature are untruthful thieves, because they lay claim to another's work as their own without attribution. Yet such persons are sitting in judgment attempting to impugn the integrity of Judge Alito.

There are persons like Durbin, who favor terrorists and who has made anti-Semitic jokes at public gatherings; like Leahy who employs questionable practices to protect the former governor of his state, Howard Dean; and like Schumer, who as head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was in charge when members of same stole the personal records of Republican senatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Michael Steele of Maryland. There are also those responsible for "Memogate."

Yet these are the liberal men and women who are trying to tell us that Alito is somehow bad for America. It is an insult to our form of government to have people like these given license to humiliate such a gentleman.

The old adage: "You can put curtains on an outhouse window, but when you open the door it's still an outhouse," is appropriate for my final point. For all of the hyperbole in the end the vote is as predictable as sunshine. The liberal imbedded votes of Lincoln Chaffee, R-RI; Olympia Snowe, R-ME and Susan Collins, R-ME; will no doubt cross party lines and vote against Alito – while perhaps as many as four democrats will cross party lines and support the nominee.

Ultimately, time will be the arbiter of Alito. It must be admitted that while seven of the nine current Supreme Court Justices were appointed by Republican presidents, only Justices Thomas and Scalia have been consistently loyal to the Constitution.

Liberals fear that this time we have a president who might just have been successful in placing two more like Thomas and Scalia on the high court. Allowing for same does not excuse the deplorable behavior of those who are proven purveyors of political misdeeds. It certainly doesn't excuse them for stooping to such depths of dishonesty and fabrication. It does prove them unworthy to be part of the judicial process.
