The following day after his wife’s anguish, how do you think Alito expressed his sympathy for her at the end of the hearing—which obviously was a grueling ordeal for her?
I’d figure he would wrap his arms around his wife and give her a reassuring hug to tell her that this was all behind them now. Maybe a kiss on the cheek and then they would file out together amidst the crowd and the cameras. How about even a knowing glance? Nope, Strip-search Sammy turned hurriedly away from his wife without acknowledging her presence and bolted for the door as fast as he could leaving her behind in his wake. Was it a possible indication that she was in her proper place after all?
NewMexiKen assumed all along that Alito’s wife was crying for the same reason any sane woman would cry: Fear that Alito will end up on the Supreme Court and help undermine a generation of gains for women’s rights.
