Sam Alito, no ethics, and a liar
There are many pressing issues that Congress needs to address. For the Senate to be talking to a felon that has been appointed by the bush seems to me a waste of their time.
We already know that Sam I Am will say or do anything to get a job that he wants. In an application for a position with the Reagan administration: “advance legal positions in which I personally believe very strongly. I am particularly proud of my contributions in recent cases in which the government has argued in the Supreme Court that racial and ethnic quotas should not be allowed and the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion.” Now he says that was just to get the job, and not necessarily what he really believes..
As for the felony, lying to Congress is a felony. In 1990, while being considered for the Circuit Court, Sam the Hustler promised to recuse himself in any case involving Vanguard, in which he had a considerable financial interest. Well, he didn't. Of course, now he says it was caused by a computer error. (see point 1 above)
So, why is any Senator, much less the "opposition", even considering appointing this unethical person to the Supreme Court. Oh yeah, I forgot about the Roberts standard. You remember. While Roberts was on the Court of Appeals, he was ruling on a case while he was interviewing for a job with one of the parties to the case, the president. And now, look, he's chief justice of the Supreme Court.
I guess if Green Eggs and Ham gets the boot, and rightly so, we'll probably be seeing Tom DeLay or Jack Abramoff appointed by the bush. The two of them have certainly demonstrated the highest ideals of the bush himself.
