Enough, Already!

Samuel Alito has handled himself skillfully and gracefully during this week's Supreme Court confirmation hearings. The scene of Mrs. Alito in tears has probably sealed the human element of these hearings in Judge Alito's favor.

The line of attack taken by the Dems, including Princeton, Vanguard, etc. shows a desperation that they are losing control over our nation's future. Of course, the driving issue is abortion and I wonder how long the Dems will continue to drive off the cliff at the behest of NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and the other usual suspects.

For years, Teddy Kennedy, Chucky Schumer, and DiFi have been defining the 'mainstream' to exclude anyone who dares to challenge their so-called 'progressive' and 'enlightened' social policies, and it's refreshing to see their influence diminishing in today's political dynamic. Much of the credit for this shift in politics goes to the diversification of information sources that challenge the politically correct conventional 'wisdom' of the Old Media. One of the alternate sources that is particularly informative during judicial confirmation hearings is National Review Online's Bench Memos.
