Kennedy nailed Sammy on it at the hearings and made him sweat, but Specter and Graham rushed to his rescue. Mrs. Sammy on cue ran out of the room crying. But Sammy survived to destroy women another day.

Why the press doesn't cover this little gem from the past is beyond me, sort of.

(28,959 posts)I remember this hearing.. I had hope they would block Alito since everyone I listened to said he was worse than Scalia. I loved Ted Kennedy and hate that he's dead and Alito's alive.
Fuck off Sam, you and your weepy wife..

(6,362 posts)both monsters. I remember Alito"a wife weeping at the hearing and the msm chastising the big bad democrats. I hope karma is a real thing and one day Alito"s grandkid or other relative suffers miserably because of a medical condition left untreated because of Dobbs. I generally do not wish ill will towards anyone by Alito is a special kind of monster. He has become more radicalized over the years. His speech on religious liberty in Rome made me want to vomit.

(8,988 posts)to derail pertinent lines of questioning just as he would later do for Kavanaugh. Lest we forget the circumstances for Kavanaugh, he had just been cornered by their own "expert" about having falsely claimed that his "diaries" (phony as the day is long) had no possible dates when he could have committed the assault. Graham began to fluster like a cornered rat when Graham burst at the seams with loud indignation and demanded a recess. During which they concocted how to get around this and move on. Which they did.
