This was, of course, at Alito’s 1990 confirmation to the appeals court.
UPDATE: Human Events has lauditory quotes from Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) also. (Here is the official transcript)
Mr. President, I rise in support of the nomination of Samuel Alito, Jr. to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Sam Alito is an accomplished and distinguished lawyer. He has dedicated himself to Government service and he has excelled.
…
As Chief Federal Prosecutor for one of the largest districts in the country, he has led the effort to fight bigtime drug rings and organized crime. He has made environmental crimes a high priority.
…
I believe Mr. Alito has the experience and the skills to be the kind of judge the public deserves — one who is impartial, thoughtful, and fair. I urge the Senate to confirm his nomination.
He has the respect of the bar in our State. The ABA panel that reviewed his nomination rated him “well qualified.”
