He said WHAT?
Okay, so I watched the Alito hearings yesterday. It was interesting, but I found myself wondering how much of it was utter bullshit. I've been pretty sick today, and I spent most of it in bed, coughing my lungs out. Needless to say, I did not watch the hearings. But Think Progress has a great post on the "quote of the day."
So, he doesn't want to answer the easy questions because he would have to answer the hard questions later? Man, talk about a slippery slope. Didn't this guy go to law school? Before I heard this, I was among those who simply did not know enough about the man. Granted, he was tainted by the Shadow of The Bush, but I was still willing to hear him out. Now ... ergh ... I'm leaning towards writing a letter asking for a filibuster.

"It’s what we call in law school the slippery slope and if you start answering the easy questions you are going to be sliding down the ski run into the hard questions, and that’s what I’m not so happy to do."
