so far he's been quite forthcoming. i have not heard him refuse to answer anything, although he claimed to forget about membership in a conservative club at Princeton. most of the senators have asked pretty good questions. biden came off kind of like a dick, claiming to be puzzled by certain rulings on discrimination cases even after hearing an explanation.

i'm still curious about his views on executive power...this is probably the only thing of interest to me that will come up. from the bits and pieces i've heard in this hearing, alito has cited limitations on the president a few times. i hope i get a chance to hear some more questions to this end. feingold (who just started talking) will hopefully go in this direction instead of slightly twisting quotes in the individual rulings of alito's past.
