Now That's A Retort

Via Joe Carter:

Although I haven’t had much interest in following the Alito hearings, I regret missing out on this smackdown on Sen. Chuck Schumer:

Shumer: Does the Constitution protect free speech?

Alito: Yes, Senator, the First Amendment protects free speech.

Shumer: Well, why can you give me a straight answer on that issue but not give me a straight answer on abortion?

Alito: Because the text of the Constitution explicitly includes the term "free speech".
