Desultory Thoughts

I’ve been watching reruns of the Alito Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings on C-Span as well as news clips on various websites. I watched the recent Roberts hearings as well and was quite impressed with the way he answered questions. But, his hearings weren’t half as entertaining as these! Today Senator Kennedy and Senator Spector got into a little brawl [FoxNews.com Video] as Judge Alito sat back and watched from his front row seat.

What I realized, however, is that anything and everything that I ever write or say can be used against me if I were to ever be nominated for a seat on the Supreme Court. It gave me pause, but only for a moment. I will, however, be careful about how I use this blog so as not to put myself in a bad position in future situations…even if they may not be quite as important as what Alito is going through. You can read more about it, take your pick. [Google News]
