DEMOCRATS PLAN TO DESTROY ALITO
Fri Jan 06 2005 17:30:54 ET

**Exclusive** 

Senate Democrats have put into place a plan that includes one last push 
to take down the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito as he heads into 
his confirmation hearing next week, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. 

Senate Democrats intend to zero in on Alito’s alleged enthusiastic 
membership to an organization, they will charge, that was sexist and 
racist!

Democrats hope to tie Alito to Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP). 

Alito will testify that he joined CAP as a protest over Princeton policy 
that would not allow the ROTC on campus. 

THE DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a Summer 1982 article from CAP’s PROSPECT 
magazine titled “Smearing The Class Of 1957ö that key Senate Democrats 
believe could thwart his nomination! 

In the article written by then PROSPECT editor Frederick Foote, Foote 
writes: “The facts show that, for whatever reasons, whites today are 
more intelligent than blacks.ö 

Senate Democrats expect excerpts like this written by other Princeton 
graduates will be enough to torpedo the Alito nomination.

One Democrat Hill staffer involved in their strategy declared, “Put a 
fork in Scalito. It doesn’t matter that Alito didn’t write it, it 
doesn’t matter that Alito wasn’t that active in the group, Foote wrote 
it in CAP’s magazine and we are going to make Alito own it.ö 

However, a Republican insider contacted about the situation said, “It’s 
the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. The reason CAP was formed was to 
protest against people like Drujack who think killing chickens is 
similar to what happened at Auschwitz. I don’t understand how what a guy 
named Foote wrote in some magazine has anything to do with Alito.ö

The final witness on the Senate Democrats newly unveiled witness list 
for Alito’s hearing is freelance journalist Stephen Dujack. 

Dujack is a ’76 Princeton graduate and a longtime critic of CAP. 

Dujack was the author of a highly critical 1986 op-ed in the PRINCETON 
ALUMNI WEEKLY titled “The Contradictions Of CAP.ö Dujack slammed the 
group for its policies opposing Princeton's decision to admit women and 
minorities. 

Dujack now says: "Judge Alito will have to explain to the Senate 
Judiciary Committee why he paid dues to an outfit... that was overtly 
racist and sexist for its entire 14-year existence — at times 
passionately so, too." 

Dujack adds: "There is no way for Alito's backers to claim his 
association with the organization does not imply endorsement of its 
views, for opposition to women and minorities at Princeton was as 
central to CAP as opposition to drunken driving is to MADD." 

However, THE DRUDGE REPORT has learned the Democrats’ star witness comes 
with baggage of his own. Dujack penned an op-ed in 2003 that compared 
farm animals to Holocaust victims and gave money to the Kerry 
presidential campaign. 

In the April 21, 2003 LOS ANGELES TIMES, Dujack wrote: “Like the victims 
of the Holocaust, animals are rounded up, trucked hundreds of miles to 
the kill floor and slaughtered.ö Dujack went on, “To those who defend 
the modern-day Holocaust on animals by saying that animals are 
slaughtered for food and give us sustenance, I ask: if the victims of 
the Holocaust had been eaten, would that have justified the abuse and 
murder?ö 

THE DRUDGE REPORT has also uncovered a purported $2,000 donation Dujack 
made to John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004.
