From todays Rockin' Scalito Lie-a-palooza, we learn that if Vanguard only managed hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, instead of (to quote the late Carl Sagan) "Billions and Billions" of dollars, then it might have mattered that he fucking out and out lied to the same committe that he's sitting in front of now:
This case involved some thousands of dollars. Vanguard manages billions of dollars of funds. The idea that the outcome of this case could have some effect on the mutual funds that I hold is beyond preposterous, and I don't understand anybody to have suggested anything like that.
Get that? Size does matter.
Alito is a liar who will do anything or say anything. In respectable circles, lying on a job application or in an interview and getting caught after being hired is enough to get you summarily fired. Unless you're a modern-day republican, then it's OK.
Because they lie about everything.

The strategy with Alito seems to be to deny that he has any conservative leanings at all. Why do they still have to do that if they have a "mandate?" It just goes to show how much of the so-called Republican majority is built on obfuscation.

Why even lie about it? Aren't they proud of it? Don't they believe that a strong majority of Americans believe exactly like they do?
