Dems on fire at Alito hearings

Aside from some the obvious bias in this San Francisco Chronicle article concerning Alito's affiliation to a racist organization at Princeton, it hits at the heart of what is troubling about Samuel Alito. It just seems odd that he is acting like a moderate right now, given his rather consistent far-right approach over the last 2 decades. Yes, one can change their minds over time, but to rule on one side so often, then decide that 'it was the past and I would never do that now' does not feel right.

The Dems, as the beginning of this article suggests otherwise, have proved plenty able to 'land blows' on Alito's record. Alito has dissented many, many times on issues that shed light on him as an ultra- conservative jurist who is opposed to privacy and civil rights, checks and balances, and well, minority rights. His factual and stated membership to the racist Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP) shows us this reactionary ego. In response to Kennedy's line of questioning, Alito gives us this...

'I have racked my memory, and I can't recall anything,' Alito told Kennedy again. 'And if I had been involved actively in any way in the group, I'm sure that I would remember it.'

Hmmmm???

Kennedy expressed disbelief that Alito could recount details of each of his 67 dissents as a Third Circuit appellate court judge, but not his membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton.
