Alito's Day in Court

After weeks of seeing his record twisted beyond recognition, Sam Alito will finally face his critics (and friends) this morning.

If you are just now focusing on the hearings, it is worth a little time to review some of the specious charges against the judge. This is a good site for facts and fictions.

Here's Alito's wonderful family-centered opening statement from yesterday (twice as long as John Roberts', also without notes). Watch today's hearing live beginning at 9:30 a.m. as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), question the nominee.
