1. I'm guessing most of us agree we can trust him about as far as we could throw him

2. Was Torrey in the same room as Alito?

3. As far as the WEAKEST of us could throw him. ;-)

4. Awwww. Did Alito's feathers get ruffled?

What a chicken, having his underlings attempt to
protect him from scrutiny.

What else has Sammy leaked?

5. Pardon me. If the SC justices are so brilliant, then

WHY DO THEY NEED A LEGAL COUNSEL??

Fall guy?

[gratuitous]

6. I notice the careful wording doesn't rise to a flat-out denial

Just that several statements are uncorroborated. Also, the Alitos didn't get "any reportable gifts" from the Wrights.

This letter is too weaselly by half.

7. Will he/they testify under oath (including cross-examination) with a penalty of perjury if they lie?

8. I'm sure I'll be schooled about "Perjury" so what about just *lying*?
