Drudge: Democrats plan to destory Alito
**Exclusive**

Senate Democrats have put into place a plan that includes one last push to take down the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito as he heads into his confirmation hearing next week, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Senate Democrats intend to zero in on Alito’s alleged enthusiastic membership to an organization, they will charge, that was sexist and racist!

Democrats hope to tie Alito to Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP).

Alito will testify that he joined CAP as a protest over Princeton policy that would not allow the ROTC on campus.

THE DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a Summer 1982 article from CAP’s PROSPECT magazine titled “Smearing The Class Of 1957” that key Senate Democrats believe could thwart his nomination!

In the article written by then PROSPECT editor Frederick Foote, Foote writes: “The facts show that, for whatever reasons, whites today are more intelligent than blacks.”

Senate Democrats expect excerpts like this written by other Princeton graduates will be enough to torpedo the Alito nomination.

One Democrat Hill staffer involved in their strategy declared, “Put a fork in Scalito. It doesn’t matter that Alito didn’t write it, it doesn’t matter that Alito wasn’t that active in the group, Foote wrote it in CAP’s magazine and we are going to make Alito own it.”

However, a Republican insider contacted about the situation said, “It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. The reason CAP was formed was to protest against people like Drujack who think killing chickens is similar to what happened at Auschwitz. I don’t understand how what a guy named Foote wrote in some magazine has anything to do with Alito.”

1. Didn't drudge also say this morning that Ariel Sharon had died?
That fact, plus that this is a drudge "exclusive" kinda makes me dubious.

2. I ain't buying it. This sounds like a Repuke-led attack to fuel support.
I guess things are going so poorly that Drudge is being used yet again to drum-up righteous indignation amongst the idiot, lemming-like conservatives to aid in Alito's confirmation hearing.

What a contrived load of bullshit...

3. CAP didn't want women at Princeton.
CAP didn't want blacks at Princeton.
The whole reason it existed was to prevent blacks and women from getting into Princeton.

It's like joining Netflix and saying you never watch DVDs.

5. I just posted it because I found it interesting...
...I know Drudge doesn't usually classify as a good news source, but it is the first place I've seen this story come up.

8. As well we should. The man is dangerous with his view of presidential
power. Anyone with that view of presidential power on the right or on the left must be opposed.

10. We're planning to "destory" Alito?
I thought we were trying to figure out what the story is with this rethuglican plant for the Suppreme court.
