Judge Alito Hearings

One of the best features of blogs are the specialist blogs dedicated to a single topic. So in the case of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings I recommend SCOTUS blog.

Also good to follow is Captain’s Quarters who captured this wonderful exchange:

Q: Does the Constitution protect free speech?

A: Yes, Senator, the First Amendment protects free speech.

Q. Well, why can you give me a straight answer on that issue but not give me a straight answer on abortion?

A. Because the text of the Constitution explicitly includes the term “free speech”.
