You and I might agree that he lied but do you for one minute think that the Republicans in the Senate will think so? Yes, Alito did testify under oath that he did not believe in judicial activism, but if he were pressed on the subject now he could simply maintain that he does not believe that the decision overturning part of McCain/Feingold is an example of judicial activism. We might disagree with him on that, but there is no way that the Republicans would ever even consider removing him from office over this point. And you know that I'm sure.
