Alito LIED...Or Suffers From DEMENTIA

Sam Alito lied this morning during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing. He either lied or is unfit to serve as a lawyer or as a judge due to an early onset of dementia.

Mr. Alito, it seems, cannot recall being a member (a mere twenty years ago) of the "Concerned Alumni of Princeton University". The Concerned Alumni of Princeton, or CAP, were a group of elitist Princeton Alumni who were angered that the university had begun to accept women and minority applicants. Mr. Alito must have believed himself to be very superior indeed to have associated with such a discriminatory group; a group that existed to deny educational opportunities to others based on sex and race.

Nor can Alito recall why he would have listed his membership in the alumni group in a 1985 job application letter in which he was seeking a Reagan administration appointment. Was he trying to prove himself a conservative worthy of Reagan conservatives? Was it manipulation calculated to win the appointment for himself. Why would he have listed his membership in CAP if it was not important to him. The job application letter still exists and I am sure that somewhere there are canceled checks for membership fees.

I am one month younger that Sam Alito. Twenty years ago I was thirty-five years of age just like he was. I can remember all of the organizations that I belonged to and what my values were. I would not have joined an organization or permitted my name to be used in affiliation with any group that did not reflect my values. Alito as a lawyer at the age of 35 would not have tossed his name about without careful consideration, yet he is asking us to believe that he was terribly irresponsible at that time and has only a faint memory of his actions. Lawyers and judges cannot function without the ability to recall the most minute details.

If Sam Alito cannot remember being a member of the Concerned Alumni of Princeton perhaps he is suffering from the deterioration of his intellectual faculties (memory, concentration, and judgement). If it is "dementia" that is causing him to loose recollection, he is not at all medically fit to serve on the Supreme Court!

It is likely that Mr. Alito has chosen to lie by pretending not to remember and that this was a strategy worked out between himself and advisors (Karl Rove) from the Bush administration. It was probably decided that an out and out lie would discourage further exploration of his past affiliation with such a group. It was hoped that the ramifications of such an association would be passed over and forgotten. The choice to lie is not surprising considering that lying is a trait endemic to the Bush Administration who nominated Alito to serve on the Supreme Court.

There is one other possible explanation for Mr. Alito's forgetfulness. That he has substance abuse problems and was a secret drunk or drug addict at the time. You know like the "lost weekend".

The matter of nominee Alito's past involvement with the "Concerned Alumni of Princeton" and the matter of his apparent memory loss both need to be addressed further. Mr. Alito is either medically impaired or has some very serious character flaws. We do not need an ambitious, manipulative, dishonest man serving on the Supreme Court. We need a moderate who is honest, open, and has respect for the American people.

..Sam Alito simply won't do!
