Shrinking Grassley

More Alito shrinkage

Using MS Word to summarize Charles Grassley's (R-IA) opening statement:

I have a much more positive view of Judge Alito. From all accounts, Judge Alito has an impressive and extensive legal and judicial record; certainly one worthy of someone on the Supreme Court. Judge Alito excelled at top-notch schools, member of Law Review, clerked for a federal judge. Not only that, Judge Alito has a reputation for being an exceptional and honest judge devoted to the rule of law, as well as being a man of integrity.

Those 54 opinions say a lot about Judge Alito and his approach to judicial function. With respect to his legal ability, lawyers praised him, saying that Judge Alito was, quote, exceptional, quote, a brilliant jurist. The ABA, once again, found Judge Alito to be unanimously well qualified. Judge Alito, I congratulation you.
