Thank you for contacting me regarding the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito for Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
I received a response from my senator, Blanche Lincoln, D-ARK, this morning. Here it is - typical wishy-washy answer. I'd give anything for some courage in the senate.
"I believe the U.S. Senate's role of advise and consent is an important check and balance that our forefathers instituted, and it is an obligation that I do not take lightly. I also believe that the people of Arkansas and our nation deserve a Supreme Court Justice who is able to fulfill his or her Constitutional responsibility to interpret and apply the law fairly without political favor or bias. I look forward to carefully reviewing the qualifications of Judge Alito in the weeks ahead as I evaluate his ability to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. It is my hope that he will be thoroughly and fully reviewed by the U.S. Senate, and through this process I hope to gain a better understanding of his skills, experiences, intellect, and ability to understand and apply established judicial precedent.
I appreciate knowing of your interest in this nomination. You can be certain that I will be monitoring the upcoming hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee closely as I evaluate the President's nominee. I am proud to represent the citizens of Arkansas in the U.S. Senate and hope you will not hesitate to let me know whenever I may be of assistance to you in the future."

1. Carbon copy of the one I got from her. I sent a little note to both her |

and Pryor again, yesterday. This time I expressed by views on Mr. Alito's faulty memory (didn't recollect being in CAP) and indications that he wants a 'super executive' branch.
