It should surprise no one that some in Congress do condone torture, despite the recent bi-partisan backing of a bill which was signed into law just recently by the President banning such practices. Ironically, the very people who backed the ban seem to have become the first ones to violate the precepts of this new law.

Who are these despicable characters? None other than Democrats currently serving as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.  Their poor, unsuspecting, victim is none other than Judge Samuel Alito.  Judge Alito’s wife, Martha-Ann Bomgardner, even today was forced to flee the hearing room (aka, the torture chamber) with tears streaming down her face because of the unending and merciless interrogation tactics employed by Senate Dems.

Human Events Online reports that:

Coalition for a Fair Judiciary President Kay Daly said: ‘Mrs. Alito has shown grace under pressure after months of abuse at the hands of well-funded, left wing organizations and their Democratic minions on the Senate Judiciary Committee…’

Human Events Online also reports that Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was overhead saying this to poor Judge Alito:

‘Judge Alito, I am sorry that you’ve had to go through this.’

It is time for all peace-loving, law-abiding, patriotic Americans who believe in the dignity of every individual to demand Alito’s release! Every day this week, the judge has been forced to sit in the same seat for endless numbers of hours, in a small, poorly ventilated, overheated chamber listening to self-important elected officials drone on for hours, asking the same questions over and over.

In all seriousness, though, if we were treating members of al Qaeda this poorly, it strikes me that a likely response from the very people who are day-after-day treating Judge Alito like some dog who just piddled on the carpet would be to point an accusing finger at the President, denouncing such “un-American” behaviour.

I call on John McCain to now support a ban on the torture of innocent men and women who are simply seeking to serve their country in the role of Justice of The Supreme Court. Isn’t it time we demanded civilized behaviour from our elected officials?
