Shameful Democratic Behaviour

Democrats treatment of Judge Alito has been shameful all along, but this takes the cake.

Judge Alito’s colleagues speak

This is truly extraordinary. Extraordinary that Judge Alito’s colleagues have turned out to defend him against the Democrats’ smears; extraordinary that the Democrats themselves couldn’t be bothered to stick around to hear what this distinguished group of judges had to say. After all, if the Democrats were actually interested in what kind of judge Sam Alito is, these are precisely the witnesses who could tell them. If the Democrats really thought that Alito’s judicial opinions reflect poorly on him, these are exactly the people who could answer their questions, and, if they are correct, confirm their fears. But the Democrats apparently knew that wasn’t going to happen. The only conclusion one can draw is that the Democrats knew they were smearing a fine man and a fine judge. But the fact that they didn’t even have the decency or respect to stay and listen to Alito’s colleagues is disgusting.

Apparently Senators like Ted “One more for the road” Kennedy don’t want to hear anything positive about Judge Alito.  They pretend to care about the American people and women’s rights, but they only show up at the hearings to grandstand for their moonbat constituency.
