Courtesy of CultureKitchen comes this delicious nugget:
Senator Samuel Brownback has entered into the record a letter that former Alito clear Cathy Fleming sent to the Judiciary Committee back on November. You can see a PDF copy at the New York Times here.
The problem with Brownback’s maneuver is that Cathy Fleming is the president-elect of the National Association of Women’s Lawyers and they have issued a negative rating; saying Judge Alito is unfit to protect civil rights based on his record alone.
Ouch. I suppose this is why she was abruptly cut from the witness list. It sure would be nice to see her testify about the negative rating her own organization gave to the nominee. So did Brownback not get the memo or did he just not care?
