You be the Judge – Alito Hearings Online
The good news for Samuel Alito is that he has survived intense questioning before a Senate panel, leading him one step closer to a seat on the Supreme Court’s bench. The bad news is that the questioning doesn’t stop at the senate or with the MSM – Alito faces further scrutiny online by bloggers and everyday citizens.
Blogs left and right are weighing in and checking facts on Alito. During Samuel Alito’s confirmation hearings blogs have commanded attention rivaling their mainstream media counterparts. There are blogs dedicated solely to Alito such as this one at Human Events Online http://www.humaneventsonline.com/alitoblog.php and the Samuel Alito blog http://samuelalito.blogspot.com/. For an overall picture of what the blogosphere is saying check out the Washington Post’s Best Blog Commentary on the Alito Hearings http://blogs.washingtonpost.com/campaignforthecourt/2006/01/best_blog_comme.html
The GOP has given bloggers invited to a blogger’s row of the Alito hearings VIP treatment – including personal appearances by top party officials and insider’s access to the confirmation hearings.
And for those who want to do a little investigative journalism of their own, AskSam has made a searchable database of Alito's legal decisions, transcripts from the confirmation hearing and published opinions. http://www.asksam.com/ebooks/Judge_Alito/
