Elizabeth Dole, On the Confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito

Elizabeth Dole, On the Confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito
“ Of the 109 men and women who have been chosen to serve this country on the Supreme Court, Judge Alito has spent more time on the federal bench than all but four. And no nominee to the high court has come before this body in the last 70 years with as much federal judicial experience. Judge Alito is precisely the type of person America needs on the Supreme Court. ”
