Alito lied

[tom22]

Alito lied about his joining a reactionary group at Princeton. Everyone knows what groups he or she joined in college. This was a blatant lie. this is the topic that needs to be investigated and pushed this week.

1. Pinoalito has been lying all day

His nose is this looooooooooooooooooooog.

[beaconess]

2. Especially since he bragged about how proud he was to have belonged

to CAP when he applied for a promotion in the Reagan Administration.

Hard to convince anyone that you completely forgot something that you were once so proud of.

[BlueManDude]

11. They're always so proud to call themselves Consevatives

yet so ashamed of what they believe in.

3. isn't his name alito?

I heard Kennedy call him Alioto and thought he was grossly off in pronounciation. Could I be wrong?

[tom22]

5. right you are.

[LittleClarkie]

6. Ah, disregard my pm, then

I was gonna let you know on the down low.

7. I'm Sure He is Calling (E)lito More Appropriate Terms Right Now (nt)

10. I thought old Teddy had been hitting the bottle again

when he was mispronouncing Alito's name. I was embarrassed for him.

4. Did he even answer one question "yes" or "no?"

If he did, I didn't hear it.

8. Right now the President can declare YOU, an American citizen, a terrorist

The Constitution gives the President powers over Foreign Affairs (WITH CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW). Calling in 3-4 Senators or Congressman for a conselling is not an adequate "Congressional Review".

Alito's views that more "war powers" exemptions should fall under the Predient's "Foreign Affairs" powers renders Congress virually impotent . Right now the President can declare YOU, an American citizen, a "non-combantant" terrorist, have you held without benefit of a lawyer, without even acknowledgement to the outside world that you are being held, subject you to torture , and hold you indefinately without a trial...all in the name of "war powers".

Thus, "war powers" trumps the U.S. Constitution! AND I THOUGHT BUSH
WANTED JUSTICES THAT WERE NOT ACTIVIST JUDGES. Do you really want that????

9. He's a blatant liar. Truth-telling is contrary to a right winger's nature

They wouldn't lie, though, if they controlled everything. Then they would become their ugly, slimy, fascist pig selves.

[Orangepeel]

12. that's almost as bad as lying about a blow job

except not really because it is more like lying about a blow job you got 30 years ago.

I probably don't remember every group I joined in college, must less exactly why I joined them and whether I joined them in January or September of a particular year.

I oppose Alito and asked my Senator to vote against him, but this is inconsequential.

[Cocoa]

13. he's lying to get a job

so it doesn't count as a lie, in fact it's downright classy.

14. Unitary Executive

Unitary Executive Theory

During the Alito hearing the term "Unitary Executive" was mentioned and it prompted me to research the term. The Bush administration contends this theory (and it is a theory) is what gives the President absolute power and the ability to disregard laws enacted by Congress and to operate without any judical oversight. I urge everyone to visit this link and absorb the underlying doctrine of the Bush administration.

Samuel Alito in a 2001 appearance before the conservative Federalist Society, he said he continued to believe in the idea of the "unitary executive." That concept holds that the Constitution gives the president all federal executive power, and means Congress likely could not grant agency heads powers outside the president's reach.

15. they've wanted to turn the US into a dictatorship for years

as soon as Scalito's on the bench, holy hell will break loose.
