Why did no Democrat ask Alito...
... about the code of silence, about omerta?

Why, huh? Why not? Alito would not answer questions. Alito would not describe the crimes. Why?

1. Because they were afraid the media would crucify them!
"How DARE those evil rotten Democrats ask questions that make people cry!"

3. Alito's 'Confrontation' Hearings =)
I have been watching the hearings since day 1. I do like the way the Democrats asked questions. They were very direct and that is the way it should be. I'm thinking that this will be a very close vote. Alito's wife needs to understand that this was not going to be an easy hearing.

2. Did anyone ask him if he belonged to Opus Dei?
As an arch conservative Catholic in a position of power (3rd circuit appellate court), odds are extremely high he is one of them, as are Scalia and Thomas and everybody's nightmare, Rick Santorum.

4. More importantly: Why do we always find ourselves asking these
questions about the Democrats?

This lack of posing hard questions is not an isolated incident.
