Larry King is next, his guest Senator Sam Brownback and Chuck Schumer on the Alito hearings.

But the right to an abortion is not in the Constitution. It's -- the court created it. It created a constitutional right.

Listening to the opening statements, I'm concerned that so many senators are already in concrete, without having heard from the nominee.

Unfortunately, the recent scandals have caused some to question whether we have lost our vision and whether the faith they have placed in us is justified.

In an era where the White House is abusing power, is excusing and authorizing torture and is spying on American citizens, I find Judge Alito's support for an all-powerful executive branch to be genuinely troubling.

Fifteen years of service on the Circuit Court of Appeals, more than 300 cases that he has written, and no one can read those cases without finding hostility to basic individual rights and individual liberties, without finding very…
