I doubt the CAP folks who hold evidence of Alito’s true involvement with the organization are likely to spill it to our side, however. It’s something they would hold over him in private.

There’s no question that the existing CAP records are incomplete and (apparently) expurgated. Alito’s name appears nowhere in them, yet we know, and he admits, that he was a member… What gives?

He lied to get on the court, after all.

Can we impeach him for lying under oath?

Read through Sen. Ted Kennedy’s attempts to get his hands on anything substantive about CAP and contrast that with the Sotomayor response. And then tell me who is forthcoming and who was very clearly not, despite Jeff Sessions protestations at the time to the contrary

Double Standard for the GOP? Women and Minority candidates have to be smarter and cleaner for the job? yep the usual.
Crony Capitalism you get ahead by who you know, what groups you belong to, and by trying to keep everyone else down especially if they are more qualified but of course you never say that.
The film ” 9 to 5 ” reset in the 2000’s?

Bwahahaha!

This is like shooting fish in a barrel the GOP does not want us comparing these two!

CAP apparently published another issue or two of the Prospect, including one with a young Laura Ingraham as editor. But the organization ultimately seems to have died a quiet death in 1985, the year it was on Alito’s resume. Was Alito one of the lawyers who put CAP to rest?

What a wish….. and I have NOT gotten over being mad about Roberts and Alitos confirmations……

Ask anyone who graduated from Princeton between 1972 (Alito’s class) and 1987: you will be hard-pressed to find anyone who didn’t know about CAP and the ugliness it stood for. And Alito was a member? Yeesh!! The organization was not merely racist and sexist, it dedicated itself to the concept of limiting the numbers of women and minorities attending the University. Because CAP distributed its literature under the doors of students in the dead of night, it was virtually impossible to attend Princeton without being aware of it. In addition to harassing students with its literature, CAP was also discussed repeatedly in the Princeton Alumni Weekly (PAW) and other publications distributed to all alumni. CAP was widely discussed and extremely controversial.

My bold Alito belonged to a group that passed out hate literature under minority and women’s students doors isn’t that threatening behavior?
Does anyone have copies of that hate Lit?

The irony is that Sonia Sotomayor was just the sort of student that CAP was trying to keep out of the hallowed halls of Princeton in the first place. And she proved them right about how it would make the place worse by graduating summa cum laude from there. That’ll teach her for being an uppity woman.

So Sonia graduated at a higher class rank than Alito who was trying to keep her out of Princeton for being a Women and Hispanic? Because Women and Hispanics were not as qualified as White Males like Alito
BWAHAHAHA!!!
Please tell me some smart Dem is going to ask Judge Alito to testify at Sonia’s confirmation hearing!
