That, in Democratic efforts to smear Supreme Court nominee Samuel
Alito, Princeton University would become the biggest casualty of the
Alito hearings. William Rusher, a founding board member of Concerned Alumni of
Princeton, had this to say today about his alma mater:

I will always remember fondly the Princeton I knew, and regret what has happened to it. My old NR
colleague Jim Burnham, who was a graduate of the Class of 1933 (or
about then), once told me that Princeton had become “just another
liberal joint,” and I’m afraid it’s true.

Rusher also refutes the Kennedy characterization of CAP:

CAP was exactly what its name implied: a group of alumni who were
concerned over various liberal tendencies that had developed in the
Princeton administration in recent years. Shelby Cullom Davis, the
former ambassador to Switzerland, gave us the money that enabled us to
send mailings to the alumni, etc. Naturally, the University
administration wasn’t happy about our existence. …

CAP was none of the things Senator Kennedy is smearing it as being:
anti-black, etc. Since Alito apparently had next to no involvement with
CAP, Kennedy is trying to give CAP the worst possible reputation, in
the hope that some of that will rub off on Judge Alito.
