This will be a brief diary.
SCOTUS nominee Samual Alito dismisses his statements on his application to work in the Reagan White House as those of a "job application" and not necessarily his true feelings.
The job Alito was applying for was a federal job, and Alito is now claiming he lied on his application for the job. This is actually a crime, lying to a federal official.
So, we now know beyond any doubt Alito was not only willing to lie about recusing himself from cases involving Vanguard, an ethical lapse, but that he was willing to lie on a federal job application, a crime.
Nt only is Alito the most radical right-winger to be nominated since Bork, Alito has lowered the bar in terms of candor and ethics to a historic abyss.
