I was fairly impressed by him, until the seemingly minor matter of Concerned Alumni of Princeton came up.

I was a year behind Sam Alito at Princeton, and I remember him very well. Now, Sam Alito is a very bright guy--a lot brighter than I am. If he remembered enough about CAP to believe his membership in it would score points for him with the Reagan administration, it is inconceivable that he would have "no specific memory" of the organization now, when I remember it quite well, and I wasn't even a member. He remembers all those hundreds of legal decisions, and he can't remember an organization he put on his resume 13 years after graduation? He's lying, folks.

Not that that's surprising, of course. Just sad.

Aloha,
Mark
