The Rapid City Journal has an amazing editorial in this morning's paper about the Alito confirmation hearings:
Senate Judiciary Committee member Joseph Biden, D-Del., declared the judicial nomination process "broken" in an appearance Thursday morning on NBC's "Today Show."
Who's fault is that?
On the first day of the committee's hearing on the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court, Sen. Biden used 26 minutes of his allotted 30 minutes to grandstand before the cameras, leaving Alito little time to respond. Biden now complains that Alito's not answering the questions. Well.
The article then goes on to explain about how Senate Dem's are trying to "bork" Alito, but can not remember that the Senate GOP tried to do this when President Clinton nominated Justice's Ginsberg and Souter.
We'd say that Republicans are just as bad, but we don't recall that when President Clinton nominated Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer to the Supreme Court that Republican members of the committee made such a public display of hostility.
Right now it's looking like Alito will be confirmed, but we'll have to wait and see.
