What's Alito Hiding? Tell Senator Kennedy: Alito Unfit For Supreme Court

[Ian David]

ACTFORCHANGE ACTIVISM UPDATE: January 10, 2006
Tell Senator Kennedy: Alito Unfit For Supreme Court -- Reject Him

For years, Sandra Day O'Connor served as an important voice of
moderation on the Supreme Court. While no progressive, her balanced
and independent view of the law served our country well. If Samuel
Alito takes her place, it's a safe bet that our nation's highest court
will take a sharp turn to the right.

Tell Senator Kennedy -- We need a principled and moderate judge to
replace Justice O'Connor, not a water-carrier for the extreme right:

Alito's hostility to Roe v. Wade -- the landmark ruling establishing a
woman's right to make her own medical decisions -- is well documented.
He has written that "the Constitution does not guarantee a right to an
abortion" and openly advocated the position that the government should
"chip away" at the Roe v. Wade decision.

Alito's views on our rights to privacy represent another
disqualification for a seat on the Supreme Court. He has advocated the
theory of the "unitary executive" with broad powers, which would
clearly include allowing the President to wiretap domestic
conversations without the warrants required by laws. He's also argued
that the Attorney General should not be held liable for breaking the
law in eavesdropping on Americans. Are any of our fundamental rights
safe if Alito is confirmed?

Ask Senator Kennedy to reject Alito -- both in the Judiciary
Committee, and in the full Senate:

It's no wonder the radical right is ecstatic that President Bush bowed
to their demands, ditched Harriet Miers, and picked Samuel Alito. On
nearly every front -- privacy, reproductive rights, corporate
responsibility, environmental regulation, and others -- Alito would
clearly steer the Supreme Court in radical new conservative
directions. It's up to us to stop him -- so take action today!!

There's a radically conservative side to Samuel Alito -- one he would
probably prefer to keep hidden. Click here to find out what Alito's
