Shrinking Coburn

More Alito shrinkage

Using MS Word to summarize Tom Coburn's (R-OK) opening statement:

Judge Alito, welcome. We've heard values, strong, free and fair, progressive judiciary. I've had the unfortunate privilege of carrying over 300 women who've had complications from this wonderful right to choose to kill their unborn babies. And that's what it is: It's the right of convenience to take the life. It is a real issue, a measurement of our society, when we say it's fine to destroy unborn life who has a heartbeat at 16 days post-conception. It's schizophrenic. I asked Chief Justice Roberts about this definition of life -- you know, what is life? The real debate is we've had an activist court, and the American people don't want an activist court.
