What hasn't been asked of Alito that you think should?

[yurbud]

When Shumer mentioned the 14th Amendment, I stopped what I was doing because I thought he was actually going to bring up corporate personhood.

Birthright citizenship is important too, but corporate personhood strikes at the root of the corruption of our democracy. Anything else to add?

[Cooley Hurd]

1. It doesn't matter what questions should be asked...

...since the rat bastard refuses to answer anything. :grr:

[yurbud]

7. what's funny is a couple of senators start with similar cases and get

him to give his opinion, then when they shift to the main issue, he will say he can't talk about an issue that might come before him--even though Feinstein in particular pointed out that he had on one man, one vote, and Shumer did the same with age of senators then transitioned to birthright citizenship.

They didn't identify and underline his game playing, but they at least did a good job of drawing the parallels.

2. "Did your mother drop you on your head often when you were a baby?"

Yeah, I know it's not a legal question, but I'd love to hear the little fascist toad answer it.

[xchrom]

3. it's weird because they don't answer anything.

if they don't have -- and they do with alito -- significant case history in front of them, no one knows{nudge, nudge, wink, wink} what they think.

[Vincardog]

4. They could have hit harder and more on that Unitary pResidency crap

I do not see in the constitution where the pResident can sign veto or sign with a disclaimer.

5. There is the Classic "When did you stop beating your wife?'

[yurbud]

14. if so, then why is she crying?

[Nutmegger]

6. "Is it true that you enjoy spanking???" n-t

[yurbud]

20. "Senator, I cannot comment on that issue since it may come before the...

court. My understanding is part of the initiation upon joining the Supreme Court involves a cricket bat and my bare ass..."

[Nutmegger]

21. ROFL

:rofl::rofl:

[yurbud]

23. "ROFL is a precedent, but I cannot say that I wouldn't even listen to an

argument about it if it came before the court. I'm obligated to be open-minded on that issue unless my White House handlers say the issue is so inconsequential I can say what I want."

[blm]

8. Your rulings show allegiance to corporations over consumers and workers'

rights and safety.

Please explain how mineworkers facing death every time they go to work can feel justice is served when the Supreme Court helps mining company lobbyists and the Republican congress strip away the rules that once protected them.

[hang a left]

9. *in response to a non-answer by Alito*

And how, Judge Alito, did you answer this question during your interviews prior to your nomination?

[yurbud]

19. or "HOW did you answer this question when interviewed by Karl Rove...

or other Bushies?

[kentuck]

10. Do you think women's rights will be set back by your nomination?

Especially if you vote to overturn Roe v Wade?

[bluethruandthru]

11. Please just answer yes or no! n/t

[yurbud]

15. that would definitely help.

[Justice Is Comin]

12. Will you need Grahams advice and coaching

when you're making decisions on the court too?

[TahitiNut]

13. Which of the opinions (concurring or dissenting) in Roe v. Wade do you ...

... most subscribe to? I'd ask this question for a whole series of SCOTUS decisions and REQUIRE him to identify the written opinion with which he's MOST in agreement. Such a question is totally fair, since every Justice having written such opinions is no more 'prejudiced' than any nominee would be in agreeing with such written opinions. There's no fucking way in the world that he should be able to demur in answering such an opinion on the specious basis that it'd 'prejudice' him in future cases. After all, since when does any Justice 'prejudge' any case by writing an opinion or concurring with an opinion in such cases?

[yurbud]

17. excellent idea and shumer (I think) did that on the commerce clause

[Marie26]

16. Do you believe the Constitution creates a right to privacy?

Although maybe someone did ask, I don't know. It's not like he'd answer.

[aka-chmeee]

18. Job History Question

I think he should be asked why, since apparently his habit has been to pad every job application with information which was included solely to appease the potential employer and doesn't really represent his true position, we should conclude that his performance before the committee is any different.

[DanCa]

22. How does he feel about disenters in his church

you can change the wording around but you get the general idea where i am going with it.

[yurbud]

24. After Dred Scott and Plessy vs. Ferguson, what was worst Supreme Court

decision and why?
