Alioto vs. Sotomayor: A case of double standards?
Here's SC Justice Alito during his confirmation hearings ...
And that’s why I went into that in my opening statement. Because when a case comes before me involving, let’s say, someone who is an immigrant — and we get an awful lot of immigration cases and naturalization cases — I can’t help but think of my own ancestors, because it wasn’t that long ago when they were in that position…
When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account.
The far right will, no doubt, ignore this Alito clip. Rush, Newt, and the dittoheads are already on a roll. But watch Alito's full comments anyways. You can also see them here.
