Did Alito lie on his resume?

Either He Lied on His Resumé or There's Been a Cover-Up
Alito's CAP
By DOUG GIEBEL

<edit>

Some may recall the unfortunate incident in which the notable historian Joseph Ellis falsely and repeatedly claimed to have served in Viet Nam. Padding one's self-history is not unusual, and as the Ellis story demonstrates, even exceptionally brilliant people are not immune from stretching the truth.

All this brings me to the problem posed by Judge Samuel Alito regarding his apparent membership in the notorious Concerned Alumni of Princeton, a "fact" that was listed for awhile on the Judges c.v. and job application. Unfortunately, the judge now states he can not recall anything about his membership, except that it might have had something to do with the Princeton R.O.T.C. program. After inspecting C.A.P. records, Senator Arlen Specter stated those records contained no mention of Samuel Alito.

The conventional theory is that Judge Alito later thought better of listing his membership in a controversial organization, and may have truly forgotten everything about his participation in the group. However, this memory lapse seems unusual not merely because Judge Alito once listed it in his credentials-- so he must have remembered it in the past. The real question is why a "brilliant" man who can recite chapter and verse from legal documents and history (as well as the other events from his life) -- why this mentally adept lawyer and jurist can't remember anything about joining the C.A.P.

Apologists for Alito imply he may also have been advised to disrecall his purported membership because the C.A.P. agenda is no longer politically correct.

As one with some experience at exposing frauds, let me propose that it is very possible Samuel Alito was never a member of C.A.P. Instead, he could easily have padded his credentials to impress potential employers, especially those from the Republican right. Unfortunately, no committee member raised this possibility, even though it would have been both appropriate and a way to elicit more specific responses from Judge Alito on the subject.

We need to call Specter on this!

resume?

Vanguard promise and it's quite apparent he's not an honest person. That must be why Shrub likes him so much.
