Senator Leahy was probably surprised that anyone was listening...
Senator Leahy accuses Senator Hatch of misquoting him:
“I have asked the distinguished senior Senator from Utah if he purports to quote me, to
try to at least get within the ballpark of accuracy. … [It is a misquote] to suggest that I
have said … that Judge Alito, all by himself, would do away with all the liberties of
Americans.”
-Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Congressional Record, 1/25/06
Great comeback from Senator Hatch:
“I was not only in the ballpark, I was standing on home plate.”
-Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Congressional Record, 1/25/06
You be the judge: Senator Hatch speaks
