Senate Democrats request more Alito information
Senate Democrats on Thursday called for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito to provide them with more information about his time as a federal judge and a government lawyer, citing “questions that seem to have incomplete answers.”
What’s to say hee, Donks will act like…Donks! Incomplete answers? They would still think it incomplete if they performed a deep colonoscopy, as long as there was a whiff of conservatism in him to set off their politically allergic reactions.
The White House said Democrats came up with a strategy in July to block any nominee that Bush sent to the Senate. “One of the tactics they outlined was to make repeated requests for documents and more information for the specific purpose of erecting a straw man that they could then knock down for the purpose of delaying the hearings,” spokesman Stephen Schmidt said. “It is somewhat worrying that they may be implementing that strategy to obstruct and delay, as opposed to keeping commitments to make sure that the hearings are fair and dignified.”
You just KNOW that a lot of the Donks want to push for a filibuster if they can get away with it. The Chief hopes that they’ll give it a shot – it would be worth it to ram the so-called “nuclear”, or more accurately labeled constitutional option down their throats.
The more they squak about this appointment, the more the Chief thinks that Alito needs to be on the court, which WILL happen!
