By Scot Facer Proctor

Since most of our readers do not live in Washington, D.C., I thought it would be nice to take you to the opening of the Alito hearings and give you a view of some of the happenings. Come with us to the steps of the Supreme Court; meet Judge Samuel Alito and his family as they arrive for the Senate hearings; go to the Heritage Foundation to hear a constitutional expert.  Come and see.

Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition looks on as a spokesperson for Operation Outcry talks about the pain and horrors of having had an abortion.

About 200 supporters of Judge Alito arrived at the press conference on the steps of the Supreme Court. Many of the young people were from the American Association of Christian Schools and TeenPact.

Andrea Lafferty called upon the United States Senate Judiciary Committee to confirm Judge Samuel Alito quickly and fairly with an up or down vote.

The Reverend Pat Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, offers his voice at the press conference.

The young people held up their posters and signs with great enthusiasm and fervor.

Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona lends his powerful voice to the press conference. “It’s a cloudy day here in Washington,” he said, “but brighter days are coming.”
