I could turn out to be totally wrong, but that Drudge scoop about the Alito witness strikes me as old news. Senate sources tell me that this particular witness, anyway, has been taken care of–is off the list because of an unrelated problem. More in Bench Memos.
Update: Senate sources confirm the guy Drudge is writing about is no longer on the witness list–a rumor Bench Memos relayed about an hour ago.
