I am ashamed of the treatment given Judge Samuel Alito by Democrats John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Patrick Leahy and others. I am grateful that Sens. Byrd, Tim Johnson, Ben Nelson, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe voted to confirm Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court.

If I were Sandra Day O’Connor, I would not wish my legacy to be a vote to allow and approve the killing of the unborn as a birth control method, denying the rights of the unborn to enjoy love, music, trees, flowers, birds, animals, the moon and sun and stars, and such.
