Judge Alito and his testimony and UPDATES

Link
There's something about Judge Alito and the way he answers questions that just doesn't have that "feel right" quality. I have played poker with guys like him, and beleive he isn't lying, but you can just tell he's not sincere and is playing back a well scripted non-answer. Hopefully today someone will get him to give an emotional answer on something that drops the veil.

UPDATE 2:00PM PST
The best questioning of the day of Judge Alito was done by my own Senator, Diane Feinstein. She went back to the testimony of Judge Roberts and read each Q&A between herself and Judge Roberts. After she read Alito the questions she asked, "what differences would you have with Judge Roberts or do you agree with his statements?" The major revelation by Alito was that he could not say that Roe vs. Wade was "settled law". So in my opinion, when Alito states he has an open mind on the issue, he is "open" to revisiting that settled law and considering it was a mistake to make Abortions a legal right of a woman. There should be no doubt after that testimony as to where he stands. Democrats must not confirm Judge Alito as a matter of principle.

This morning Sen Biden's questioning of Alito was very useful regarding Judge Alito's views on Executive Power and the President's claim to be able to most anything including wiretaps and even Declaring War without the approval of Congress. In these days with the Adminstration seeking greater powers, I did not see Alito step up to the plate and say anything of use in response to these questions except to leave me very concerned that he will be confimed and we may lose many rights we currently have. The Judiciary Committee is well represented Biden and Feinstein. I will be interested to see if they approve him or not. It is a matter of principle.

Questioning by Russ Feingold was also quite revealing this morning. Alito can see a possibility where there is a Constitutional question regarding Executuve Powers of the President. Alito can see a statute being passed by Congress where the President under his Commander-in-Chief powers could nullify the law and issue directives counter to the intent of the laws of Congress. Verty troubling views in my mind. America WAKE UP!!!! Schumer followed up with a question on NSA wire tapping and asked if this was found Constiturional for the President to do, could this then lead to searches in homes also being Constitutional without approval by Congress? He didn't answer the question again.
