So Alito says he made his anti-abortion statements to get a job

[auburngrad82]

So either he lied to get the job and he's not really interested in overturning Roe V Wade or he is a radical fundie who wants to overturn Roe V Wade.

Personally I don't want a liar or a fundie on the Court.

1. He Can't Be Trusted Then (nt)

[eallen]

2. Every statement he now makes is intended to get him a bigger job.

[thereismore]

16. Bingo. A pattern. nt

[livetohike]

3. If I was on the committee in the hearings I would ask

him "Do you always lie if you think it would further your career?"

[goddess40]

4. I don't know if he's a fundie but he appears to be a liar

and for some reason I'm not allowed to point out that he's going to be the 5th Catholic on the court and the 8th male.

[TheFarseer]

5. So how do we know he's not lying now?

Perhaps we should give him a two sided sign, one side reading "telling the truth" and the other side reading "lying" and he can hold up the appropriate sign when he talks.

[Tom Joad]

6. Yep, so he says what he needs to get a job. Warning! He is now

seeking yet another job.

He will say whatever he needs to say.

[Dora]

7. It just proves he'll say anything to get a job.

No reason to think that he's any different now. It seems to me that he just shot himself in the foot.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

11. Sound reasoning. However neocons aren't known for their adherence to logic

[ewagner]

8. Round in a circle and nobody knows....

Circular reasoning....he said that to get a job before, so what's he saying to get the job now? Was he lying before or is he lying now?

He gave a bad explanation because he essentially branded himself as a liar either then or now..

[AuntPatsy]

9. Only in today's American Politics can a Republican openly admit

to lying in order to get a job and be hailed by the faithful sheeper as an oustanding human being and worthy of such a high position...

Mind numbing.

10. "I'm not a hard-nose. I'm a BROWN NOSE!"

Not exactly Supreme Court Justice material, if you ask me.

[Rockholm]

12. Who is this Ed Henry on CNN?

Keeps say "Democrat Senators" Keyword there. Why not "Democratic Senators?" CNN, still the most disgusting name in news.

I am working from home today and this is the crap I put on while I eat lunch? I really hate CNN anymore.

Edit. punctuation.

[BanzaiBonnie]

13. All of the above

He'll say whatever he has to in order to secure the job. He is not a man of principle. He is a phony.

AND I don't want someone with a hidden agenda.

[wakeme2008]

14. IMHO he hurt himself more by saiding

I will say anything to get a JOB than just I'm against RvW.

[flordehinojos]

15. isn't that really principled? .... same ilk as bush. ready to sell to the

devil to get his narcissistic charge.

boy! good solid ground for a judge to have.

[Jacobin]

17. So, "he'll say anything to get a job?"

How, that recommends him well. Oh, and we KNOW we can trust what he tells the Senate!! not

[hatrack]

18. And now he's saying not-quite-so anti-abortion statements to get a job

What's the difference? It's all about the job, not "principles" or "honor" or "integrity".
