I've heard some different takes on this one. Though I don't know how sincere some of the Democratic questioning of Alito is, it seems they're at least largely asking the right questions.

Is it right to ask the judge how he would rule on something like executive power which may come up before the court? Is it right to belabor a recusal of a mutual fund case that was properly corrected after the judge realized he had made a mistake and remanded the case for review after recusing himself? I think not! Even after it was disclosed that Alito had never attended any CPA meetings he was accused by his inquisitors of having participated in a racist, organization.And it was suggested that he was a racist...a nasty charge of which he was not guilty! Not so!
It seems to me that this should not be a politicized process. Are we not trying to determine whether the candidate is knowledgeable, has been fair and is experienced? Why was there a battlefield of unfounded charges and insinuations which reversed our normal concept of innocent until proven guilty. The Democrat hatchet men/women were not satisfied with that they maintained he was guilty and had to explain his transgressions to prove his innocence. A travesty of a hearing by a bunch of political goons.
