Wed Jan 11 2006 17:22:11 ET
THE DRUDGE REPORT has learned from exclusive sources in the Alito hearing room that Judge Samuel A. Alito?s wife Martha left the room in tears after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) apologized to the Judge?s family for the behavior of his fellow committee members during the course of the last three days.
Sen. Graham said: ?Judge Alito, I am sorry that you?ve had to go through this. I am sorry that your family has had to sit here and listen to this.?
For the last three days Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have attacked Judge Samuel A. Alito over his membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton and his involvement in the Vanguard case.
One senior Republican in the hearing room said of the situation: ?After three full days of attacks against her husband?s character, Mrs. Alito had enough. Democrat behavior during this hearing has not only been wrong, it?s been embarrassing. Ted Kennedy is nothing but a bully.?
