In fact, Lindsey Graham teared up at seeing her reaction.

What a dog and pony show this has turned out to be. Mrs. Alito needs to grow some big ones and get back in there and stare these heathens down. I can't imagine Nancy Reagan acting like this. But then many politicians wives aren't Nancy Reagan. At least she would have kept her personal pain private, and did.

Since I'm from SC, I won't contribute any personal comments about Lindsey Graham's - SC-RINO, reaction.

Mrs. Alito is not a political wife, with years of practice in "keeping personal pain private." Nor does she have an actress's background, like Nancy Reagan.

Since I have had the exact same thing happen to me ( crying not when attacked but when people expressed sympathy) I do not find her reaction unusual, nor do I think she should "grow some big ones."

I cry when I am angry. Mrs. Alito did far better than I would have. When Ted Kennedy started talking, tears of rage would have been flowing copiously from me, I can tell you!
