Alito took some pretty good body shots today. His legs got a little rubbery

[NNN0LHI]

The head shots come tomorrow. We get to see if he has a glass jaw or not. My guess is that Alito does have a glass jaw and goes down for the TKO in the 11th round when he takes two short jabs to the nose and then a hard right undercut to his chin from Feingold.

1. I hope you're right because ...

I have a really bad feeling about this whole situation. :scared:

4. I hope you are correct because Alito is one of the monsters - Read about

his history at some of the anti-Alito petitions sites:

"Democrats can either surrender this government to a party which seeks to destroy it, or we can take Lincoln's advice and play our available cards. To those who say filibusters--judicial, patriot act, etc--are too politically costly, I say that failure to filibuster is conceding that this nation isn't worth fighting for. Instead of worrying that we will be labeled "obstructionist," I say we filibuster Alito, filibuster the Patriot Act, filibuster time and time again until this crazy government comes to a screeching halt. Enough is enough. The list of scandals is overshadowed only by the list of names of the 2,190 whose deaths have yet to be honored by this administration.

At what point will our party realize that it's not just the midterm elections at stake here? Politics is secondary to the fact that our country has changed, drastically, over the last several years. What is that change? It is the unraveling of the American flag thread by thread. It is erasing the Bill of Rights letter by letter. It is, ultimately, about waking up one day and not recognizing this great society as the "America" we know and love."

Act Now to Block Alito!

Call your Senators and tell them you expect them to vote NO on Alito!

[Jacobin]

5. He's such a dork

Went through the sixties with his eyes wide shut and ignored what needed changing and stuck to his little private world.

He's the worst of the worst, because to most he almost comes off as a 'good guy'

[Zorro-3]

6. If I were a Senator...

Judge Alito, 

You say, "I think that the legitimacy of the court would
be undermined in any case if the court made a decision based
on its perception of public opinion," 

and yet you also say, 

"I think the doctrine of stare decisis is a very
important doctrine. It's a fundamental part of our legal
system...it is a general presumption that courts are going to
follow prior precedents."

Doesn't quite a large body of precedent require consideration
of "evolving standards of decency"? ... Or are you
implying you'd consider overturning those precedents?

14. Hi Zorro-3!!

Welcome to DU!!  :toast:

7. I noticed his voice would quaver when someone really grilled him

And he looked terrible from about halfway thru the day-slumping shoulders, sagging jacket. And speaking of body language,
he had trouble facing the Senate panel full on-kept his head turned to the side a bit. Weird. But it was the quavery voice
that told me he might not make it through the confirmation.

[tularetom]

8. Absolutely! He's a wuss

Now if some of the other Dems follow Feingold's lead and rough him up a bit I think we might see him snap right on cable teevy. He doesn't look at all like he can handle criticism or stress one tiny bit. Which in itself should disqualify him for this job.

[0007]

9. Finegold hit Alito with three straight wicked right hands. Alito

never fully recovered from those blows, he was visible shaken.

Kennedy drove a hard left hand to the stomach of Alito, and then finished with a lightening fast combination, that left Alito confused and dazed.

John Cornyn, the so-call senator from Texas was booed and hissed from the arena. Cornyn swung hard, missed, and knocked himself out after falling flat on his ugly face. Howard Corsell said it was the funniest fight he ever saw.

[alfredo]

10. The Republicans told him how to answer the questions.

They coached him.

[Matariki]

11. I agree - he sounded lame and quavering

but look at these headlines:

Alito Unruffled by Democrats' Questioning - ABC News
Judge Alito Proves a Powerful Match for Senate Questioners - New York Times

[Cronus Protagonist]

12. I agree. He was flustered with the Feingold line of questions

And they're only just starting to get into it.
