So, it’s probably a canned response. But at least she seems to care.

Dear Mr. Armstrong:

Thank you for sharing with me your concerns regarding the President’s selection of Third Circuit Court Judge Samuel Alito to replace retiring Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Now that the President has made his nomination, the Senate must initiate a thoughtful and deliberate process of closely examining and scrutinizing Judge Alito’s record to determine whether he merits a seat on the highest court in the nation.

What we currently know about Judge Alito raises serious questions about whether he will be steadfast in protecting our most fundamental rights. I hope that both the President and Judge Alito will be forthcoming during this process so that my colleagues and I can fully discharge our constitutional mandate of providing the President with meaningful advice and consent on his nomination. Please be assured that I intend to closely examine Judge Alito’s record and qualifications and carefully monitor the Judiciary Committee hearings in order to determine whether he intends to be a guardian of the rule of law who puts fairness and justice before ideology.

Again, thank you for writing. The concerns of my constituents are very important to me and I appreciate that you took the time to share yours with me. Please check my website at http://clinton.senate.gov for updates on this and the other important issues being discussed before the United States Senate.

Sincerely yours,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
