Charlie's Show Prep #24

  • I have no problem with hardball politics, but going so far as to make Judge Alito's wife sob in the hearing room crosses the line. I'm relying on reports of the yesterday's hearing, so bear with me if I know few details. The Democrats went nuts over Alito's past membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton instead of looking at his decisions as a judge. When they did talk about legal issues they wanted to pin him down on abortion. History has shown no nominee answers that question. The look on Sen. (D-CA) shows her frustration with her party's overreach.

  • points out the problem with nomination hearings being turned into show trials is we've handed courts too much power.

  • The Ohio Supreme Court heard the first important case since the awful Kelo decision last year. [via Michelle Malkin]

  • speaks about his Christmas trip to Baghdad.
