Schumer No Match for Alito

I'd like to ask Judge Alito a question. How does Chuck Schumer's lunch taste?

Manufacturers' Blog has this exchange in a post titled Judge Alito Takes Sen. Schumer to School on the Constitution

SCHUMER: Does the Constitution protect the right to free speech?

ALITO: Certainly it does. That's in the First Amendment.

SCHUMER: So why can't you answer the question of: Does the Constitution protect the right to an abortion the same way without talking about stare decisis, without talking about cases, et cetera?

ALITO: Because answering the question of whether the Constitution provides a right to free speech is simply responding to whether there is language in the First Amendment that says that the freedom of speech and freedom of the press can't be abridged. Asking about the issue of abortion has to do with the interpretation of certain provisions of the Constitution.

SCHUMER: Well, OK. I know you're not going to answer the question.

If this were a school Senators need to protect their lunch money. The big kids are taking it away.
