Democrats say Alito's answers inconsistent
Coming from a party which has raised inconsistency to high art, this is high praise indeed.
"MR. ALITO! You just admitted you said the sun rises, yet any thinking, rational person knows the sun doesn't rise or set--it is merely an illusion caused by the rotation of the earth! This troubling inconsistency leads me to say that if you are confirmed, you seem destined to turn back the clock on science, and in doing so, kill millions of innocent minorities, women, and children with your backward-thinking medieval views! Now then, I will yield my remaining five minutes to the cameraman, who will take several shots of me preening and looking smugly self-satisfied with my rhetorical brilliance."

I find it disquieting and worrisome.
