Did I hear FNC report that Specter caved again and the vote on Alito won't be this week but will be on the 27th instead?
This article seems to suggest, which makes perfect sense, that Alito was not required to recuse himself in Vanguard cases that did not require his recusal.
In other words, Alito's agreement to recuse himself in
Vanguard cases could only reasonably be expected to cover those Vanguard cases in which a recusal was necessary.
"....why do his opponents continue to beat this dead horse?"
'cuz no horse is too dead to beat.
Sorry - I just couldn't resist
A mutual fund invests in the stock of many different companies. Should a judge who owns shares in a mutual fund have to recuse himself if a case comes before his court involving any of the companies whose stock is owned by the mutual fund?
After watching those toothless buffoons trying to get the better of Judge Alito, I wonder why so many of us were worried that the hearings might be an insurmountable hurdle for people like Janice Rogers Brown.
I'll never worry again that known conservative judges can't survive a grilling in the Senate.
I don't suppose she mentioned that Judge Becker's wife held Vanguard, too, and he didn't recuse himself, huh?
The more the Democrats lie about Alito, the more the public supports him.
Sitting on courts listening to cut throat shysters thru nearly 5,000 cases seems like the ideal training before going before the Judiciary Committee. Alito is inured to the hateful bravo sierra rhetoric; it rolls off his back. Tango Sierra, Dims!
