Judge Samuel A. Alito?s wife Martha left the confirmation hearing room in tears this evening, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
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.?
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.?
