| The Senate has an incredible ability to waste time and money. The time and effort to examine these records would be yet another opportunity to do so.
The New York Times has spent time and money just such an effort, to find that this lead is a dead end. Certainly, this one time association, during the senior year of his attendance at Princeton, certainly has no greater affect on one’s ability to hold high, governmental office than, say, active membership in the Klu Klux Klan.
This is a boondoggle to misrepresent Alito’s association with a group. His own testimony is that he joined the group in protest to the administrations movement toward removal of the ROTC from the campus. An abundance of evidence is available to demonstrate that Alito has had no record of discrimination.
What are they trying to prove? Nothing. They ARE trying to create a false appearance. |
