Judge Alito Live Blogs His Confirmation Hearing

Yeah, if you can believe it. Using his Blackberry, he opines on the members of the Judiciary Committee during the proceeding. Take a look.

Now, in the anonymous ether of the Internet, it's a mistake to take everything at face value. Nevertheless, I believe that the blog of The Right Honorable Samuel A. Alito, Jr., is the real deal. What is hard to believe is that he offers his unrestrained opinion about some of the senators who will be voting on his confirmation. If it were me in the same circumstance, I'd try not to piss them off beforehand.

Of course, unless something dramatic and unexpected occurs during the hearings, the minds of the committee members are already firmed up. All that's left is the show, a formality that's usually boring but has been known to offer some interesting moments (remember Justice Thomas' confirmation?). The only unknown that remains prior to Judge Alito becoming Justice Alito is the amount of noise the liberals will make. I expect there will be some.
