Alito: Either lying then, or lying now.

[Ready4Change]

If being a member of an organization was significant enough that you would put it on your resume, you'd remember it.

There is a reason he might not remember being a member of CAP, however. That would be if he really WAS never a member, but just lied and put that on his resume.

Either that, or he actually was a member, but sees how that could be a black mark now, and has no problem lying about it.

So, either he was lying then, or he is lying now. Period.

1. damn, I hope they can prove he lied!!

2. Not Too trustworthy of a nominee, is he? (nt)

4. That was my thought.

There is just no good way to see his response.

I don't think his memory is totally unreliable because his memory in so many other areas seems intact.

I have thought of a third possibility. Perhaps he KNOWS he lied on the resume, and now he is lying yet again to cover that fact up.

This can be resolved simply. There must be a membership roster somewhere. Was he a member? That will reveal when he lied. Then, and/or now.

3. Oh, but aren't those

just "little white lies." Or maybe a secretary or law clerk did it.

Maybe he has an exceptionally broad view of what the truth consists of.

Interesting--I don't know which I find more appalling--the dissimilitude or the lack of ethics. Maybe they just merge.
