Biden Hypocritical In Opposition To Alito

By Katie MacGuidwin

On Fox News Sunday Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) said of Judge Samuel Alito "clearly, clearly, you'll find a lot of people, including me, willing to do whatever they can to keep him off the court." Biden was upset over Alito’s dissagreement with the 1962 Supreme Court case Baker vs. Carr, which Alito expressed in a 1985 job application.

Biden should be careful with his words, as a Washington Times Op-Ed points out this morning. John R. Lott Jr. writes'
    “If Mr. Biden carries through on his threat, it might 
result in the opposite of what he intends: Instead of
embarrassing Judge Alito, such questioning may actually
show Americans how much the Supreme Court has made up its
own laws.”
Lott is referring to the activist role the liberal Warren Court took in deciding Baker vs. Carr, saying that this decision (which established the principle of “one man, one vote”) would have “shocked the authors of the 14th Amendment.”

Lott writes
    “After all, did Mr. Biden ever put forward legislation to 
stop the unfair practice of giving Delaware and other
small population states overrepresentation in the Senate?
It will be interesting to see how he attacks Judge Alito
without facing such obvious hypocrisy.”
