Sen. Sam Brownback, "Alito is NOT a stealth candidate." What a bunch

[Radio_Lady]

of bullsh**!

[Neecy]

1. Brownback is a scary freak...

A zealot of the first order.

2. Alito is not a stealth candidate

His record SCREAMS the type of candidate he is, they are louder then his vague words.

3. Brownback is the only living person that could make Darwin apologize n/t

4. Sam Brownback

The greatest of Kansas' 19th century Senators.

5. I agree with Brownback: he's not stealth, he's completely obvious

Alito's vagueries in the hearings were entirely transparent. Neither he nor the senators who will soon vote on his confirmation harbor any illusions about what his agenda is, or what he will try to do while on the SCOTUS. Roberts was a different story; there remained questions as to whether he was an ideology-driven freak or a careless corporatist, and now we know: he's a fitting replacement for Rehnquist. With Alito, there is absolutely ZERO doubt where he stands: somewhere to the right of Scalia.

As such, the senators can readily make up their minds, taking into account their constituencies, their own ideals, and the vector sum of judicial change they envision for the nation over the next 40 years. Alito is a known quantity.
