Feinstein: Even Justice Alito Has Been More Candid than Neil Gorsuch

‘Even Justice Alito was more candid when asked about affirmative action’

EXCERPT:

FEINSTEIN: "Senator Franken discussed the effect of these laws but he simply asked if Judge Gorsuch was disturbed by efforts to disenfranchise African-American voters. The question has but one easy answer, and it’s yes. Yet, instead of agreeing, Judge Gorsuch ducked the question. He responded, and I quote, 'If there are allegations of racism and legislation in the voting area, there are a variety of remedies.' Even Justice Alito was more candid. When asked about affirmative action, Justice Alito replied, 'I have personal experience about how valuable having people with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints can be. Having a diverse student body is a compelling interest.'"
