The Samuel Alito Confirmation Hearings

Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee begins the hearings to question SC nominee Samuel Alito for the post being vacated be retiring Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Today, the members of the committee are giving their opening statements, and then Judge Alito will give his. The questioning will start tomorrow, I believe.

I am not gonna do any of the live-blogging stuff others are doing, so you're gonna have to go to another blog for it or listen to CSPAN (I think) or something like that. One blog that is following the hearings is Blogs4Bush. They would probably be posting transcripts of the statements and exchanges and such.

Here's hoping the Liberals don't try to hijack this to make it a circus and slander both Alito and the President, as well as other conservatives.
