<p>If nothing else, Princeton’s image is getting updated.</p>
<p>Am I the only liberal Democrat who likes this judge and who is swayed by the letters that have been written by women and African-Americans, many liberals, attesting to his support of equal opportunity?<br>
I don’t put too much stock in the CAP stuff. If he had been an officer of it, written about it, etc. it would be different, of course. I believe him when he says he doesn’t remember. I also still believe Anita Hill.</p>
<p>Now, from what I remember of the time when bro went to That school, (p’66) He was not always happy, infact it was damn tough for a WestCoast Kid, public schooled, middle class, He stayed at school over breaks and holidays, left his HS GF (thoroughly a unhealthy relationship, they all are) and isolated in an all male WASP environment. He went through 3 majors. He was not invited to join an eating club. </p>
<p>However, later he said to me, ‘that one of the things he got out of Ptown was that he met a lot of people. People who are now of considerable amount of influence’, as is he. If joining a club to advance and to meet people is what you have to do, then you do it. You don’t have to like it, nor believe in their philosophy, or even attend their meetings. I hate to count how many times that I had to go to a function, and I didn’t want to, but had to because of other considerations. </p>
<p>I think the nation could do worse than Alito. </p>
<p>And for my brother, Clinton. as heard on NPR, Clinton asked Orin Hatch just who did Hatch think he could get approved by the Senate. Hatch recommended two people. Clinton nominated them, they are now Justices. Clinton, didn’t want to spend “political capital” in this arena. Some senators should be careful of grandstanding. </p>
<p>Disclaimer. So that 20 years from now, if people ask. “I really don’t know what I am talking about or thinking about. I am just keyboard practicing.”</p>
<p>CAP was a crazy alumni organization, who everyso often writes letters to PAW (princeton alumni weekly) saying how much better princeton was back in the 50s (before women or blacks or hispanics) I’m not sure if the PAW archive is online…</p>
<p>when radcliffe and harvard joined up there were as many voices on the womens side screaming about it. the women didnt seem to want the merger either. so where are these women who spoke out. im afraid if you seek public office you have to watch what you say and do from birth. watch those essays,applications, thoughts, emails,college choice, no childhood teen life or college life for you… otherwise dont even think about public office. nobody wants medicine anymore nobody wants public office anymore… so whats left LAW?? OMG MORE LAWYERS… we better be dam careful we are headed down a road that is dark dark dark. and by the way if you plan to run for office this entire college confidential transcript might condem you so watch what you say!!!</p>
<p>Will he be asked to name names? The same folks who despise the McCarthy hearings with condescending certainty never recognize themselves in the mirror when they are just a step or uniform away from reinhabiting their detested images,… yes it is different. However, regarding tone and righteous intent(climate) rather than particular gangs in their historical moment, it’s a similar dance by these Protectors of the American People,bringing the scalpel of their ideology down into the individual’s private soul in the hopes of removing the offending demon and waving it above their heads to the cheering crowds.</p>
<p>what? that makes no sense in the circumstances</p>
<p>it is about him lying, jeese, guess we should let or supreme court jduge how is in essense applying for a job, lie now about lying on a job app years ago, or lying now about being a member of a group that is prrty clear on their views of blacks and women </p>
<p>Um, it says here you were in the KKK, where you? Well, no but I put that down to get a job…I have NO clue what they did, well then why do you put it down, to impress people</p>
<p>And if you read any CAP magizine stuff</p>
<p>As for the ROTC excuse, doesn’t fly</p>
<p>Rorosen you are right these are the McCarthy hearings! Biden the plagariser and Kennedy who got kicked out for cheating still at it. Lets dig up the records of these two clowns? Biden went to Delaware to school Kennedy bought into school and couldnt stay in is questioning Alito? I want a smart guy in not a drunk or weasel. Didnt everyone ***** and moan about the co-ed ing of schools and club in the early days even the women who didnt want to change their all women status? Give me a break on this BS. This is another political waste of time - I want to know how many servants we are paying for to help Kennedy home every night. I want to know where Biden got his hair plugs done- good job but hes still a dirtbag for the way hes treating this nerdy guy no wonder his wife was crying.</p>
<p>Inquiring minds want to know:</p>
<p>Judge Alito,
Are you now, or have you ever been (particularly in those rambunctious college days) a member of an organization that, amongst other things, patriotically supported ROTC, sarcastically opposed affirmative action in college admissions, or misogynistically endorsed single-sex education for boys?</p>
<p>[Muffled yelps overheard in the gallery]
thats un-American!</p>
<p>Mr Kennedy are you know or have you ever been a wasted alcoholic during the entire time you represented the American people. Mr Biden are you know or have you ever been a liar, cheater and plagarizer remember you are under oath Mr Biden - by the way our records show your kids never attended the Ivies- except one went to Yale law school. does that count?</p>
<p>This is the WSJ editorial, from 1987, that Kennedy wanted to know if Alito had read. Seems like a pretty innocuous group, to me. Dartmouth just got around to forming their own version about three years ago, and have successfully elected three “at large” members to the trustees.</p>

<p>For those who, like the ever-credulous CGM, remain concerned about KKK undertones–here’s a real one you can worry about. I believe every single one of the Democrats on this Judiciary Committee voted for this man as their leader in the Senate. <a href=“http://www.jewishworldreview.com/michelle/malkin030801.asp[/url]”>http://www.jewishworldreview.com/michelle/malkin030801.asp</a>
But jeez, yeah, CAP seems so much more serious.</p>
<p>Speaking to Patient’s point in #42, here’s a link to an LA Times article I posted 3 months ago.
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=1362805&postcount=134[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=1362805&postcount=134</a></p>
<p>At least Byrd stood up and was a man.
Alito says he just put on his resume he was an upstanding member of a club, yet he claims he never attended a meeting, didn’t write anything, didn’t even know what they did. So was he lying when he said he was a member on a job application? </p>
<p>Please answer that question. Was he a liar on his job application or not? Was he a member or not? </p>
<p>And his I Forgot seems pretty lame</p>
<p>He remembers a whole heck of a lot that suits him and conveniently forgets what is questionable</p>
<p>The CAP was awful Plain and simple. Yet he used their name to get a job. ALito does what is convenient at the time to suit his purposes. How do we know that is not what he is doing now.</p>
<p>
[wiping tears from face]</p>
<p>I love you almost as much as I love Joe Biden, and for the same reasons.</p>
<p>Driver, don’t get me started on Joe Biden…on the Ethics committee…and caught plagiarising? What’s next? Ted Kennedy sitting there in judgement of Alito…hard to bear.</p>
<p>CGM, you can blow as hard as you want but A will win.</p>

<p>Apparently, and more specifically, a proud white man.
And what a contrast to Alito who, according to the relevant documents released to the senate committee last night, was considered a dead-beat by the CAP brass, apparently AWOL during their mad-CAP hi-jinks at Princeton; on the other hand, Senator Byrd will, no doubt, be remembered fondly by the race-purist set
a real trooper when it came time for him to put his convictions where his membership was
a stand-up guy who carried his own cross throughout his salad days and burned it.</p>
<p>Instead of looking at his CAP days his record as a judge and member of his community should weigh in.</p>
<p>It seems Alito has built a reputation as a fair judge and brilliant jurist.</p>
<p>I certainly wouldn’t want every immature decision I made in the early seventies determining the way everyone sees me.</p>
<p>I’ll go out on a limb here.
Even if Alito did agree with CAP main positions (he says he never did)
he is still allowed to change as a human being.</p>
<p>We have forgiven Robert KKK Bird for his past associations…</p>
<p>I have a hard time stomaching anyone saying that the eating clubs at Princeton were worse than those Animal House frats at BigGreen. I visited both. There were eating clubs for all different types of people starting in the 70’s…of course it was different before that as I’m sure it was at Dartmouth. For all of the colleges my friends and I road tripped to, the most male chauvinism was to be found at Dartmouth. (sorry to hijack the thread but I had to put in my two cents)</p>
<p>
Democrats have conveniently overlooked a racist among their party because he is white and powerful. On the other hand, if Byrd had been a Republican, every Republican would have spent every day hearing about it from democrats until Byrd was forced to resign. The double standard lives!</p>
