Missing True Discussion (Alito Hearings)

Watching CNN's coverage of the Alito hearings has me shaking my head. It seems that the whole process is turning into a fierce battle, not of constitutional principles and the protections of our individual rights, privacy, and equal protection, but rather of democrats versus republicans.

I wish that it was a time when true discussion happened, but I'm more and more convinced that that happens less and less...not only in politics, but in all areas of our lives.
