Finally, the Senate confirmed Samuel Alito to the Supreme court. Look at this SHAMEFUL picture that CNN put on Cnn.com to accompany the announcement of a Justice of the Supreme court being sworn in. It looks like a picture of someone who has been arrested coming out of court. This is a man who has hit the pinnacle of his profession, one that should be revered in this country, and one of our main “journalistic” outlets takes a cheap shot at him with a “frog walk” picture? Unbelievable.
He wasn’t treated much better by the democratic portion of the United States Senate. In a shamefully partisan split vote, Judge Alito was confirmed with a vote of 58 to 42- only 4 democrats voting for confirmation (and one “Republican.”) To put this in context, Clarence Thomas, the man most railroaded and reviled by the left (unless you consider Judge Bork) got 11 democratic votes! Compare that with votes for far left Justices such as Justice Ginsberg, and consider which party is actually working under the auspices of the Untied States Constitution.
