    You're grasping at straws, Joe

    Alito joined this organization as a 20-something, and apparently never actively participated. Your attempt at guilt-by-association in this case is like saying every registered Democrat must thereby support the race-baiting demagoguery of Al Sharpton. Grasping at straws doesn't help your case (or Ted Kennedy's).
