WASHINGTON - The wife of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito left his confirmation hearings in tears Wednesday.
Martha-Ann Bomgardner, who had sat behind her husband for hours of questioning over several days, left as her husband was being questioned by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (news, bio, voting record) of South Carolina.
"Are you really a closet bigot?" Graham asked Alito. The nominee said no, and Graham said, "No sir, you're not."
Graham's questions came after withering questions from several Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats.
Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch (news, bio, voting record) of Utah suggested that she was upset with the questioning from Democrats. "She's sick and tired of the mistreatment of her husband," Hatch said. He also said that she was suffering from a migraine headache.
She returned to the hearing room after a committee break, smiling and holding her husband's hand.
Her crying will be spun way out of hand.
Man, I would like to see one, just one Conservative punch out the next man who calls them a bigot or racist.
Well Brit just showed it, albeit a shorter version, (she wiped her tears in the live version), and then left.
And I teared up again!
