<snip>

The Republicans and Democrats each have scrapped a witness they had committed to bring forward.

On the Republican side, Cathy Fleming, who worked under Alito when he was U.S. attorney for New Jersey and has known him for two decades, was to testify in support of his nomination, according to a GOP witness list.

Problem: Fleming also is president-elect of the National Association of Women Lawyers, which declared Jan. 8 that it had evaluated Alito's record and found him "not qualified to serve on the court from a women's rights perspective."

Witness withdrawn.

3. Amazing

that someone who advocated compassion for animals is considered anathema and withdrawn by the dems. If dems had any spine at all they would put any honest witness up, then filibuster Adolf Alito - what losers they are - why not go down in flames for what is right. At least it would be with honor.
