Yep, that's how I see it.
The democrats are digging at the bottom of the barrel in order to find dirt on Alito, who is clearly an intellegent and qualified judge. Let's look at some of the allegations:
1. The "Princeton Group" - the democrats were so desperate that they brought up a group that appeared on Alito's resume at one point. The group had opposed allowing women and minorities into Princeton, so the democrats are trying to say by association that Alito doesn't want women and minorties to have the same rights in education. This is clearly not what he believes, so the only reason for bringing this up is to confuse the public and personally attack the charater of a person who doesn't deserve it.
2. Executive Power - the democrats have also suggested that Alito wants unrestrained executive power and is against seperation of powers. No self respecting judge as educated as Sam Alito would take that position, and he said so. This is just another attempt to scare people into believing that Alito will help create the mythical future Bush dictatorship.
3. When all of those fail, opponents say that Alito is "moderate in speech" but "actually out of the mainstream." Well gee wiz. How can anyone disprove that?
Honestly, what do the democrats have to gain by attacking this guy? Remember, they only have a certain amount of political capital. Maybe they should spend it elsewhere.
