Alito's former Princeton classmate calls draft SCOTUS opinion 'a greatest hits of misogyny' [View all]

https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/12/politics/alito-princeton-classmate-susan-squier-cnntv/index.html
< Susan Squier, a former classmate of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito at Princeton University and who organized a letter protesting a leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, on Thursday said she was stunned and called it "a greatest hits of misogyny."

"When I read the document -- I read all 98 pages of it, and mind you, I'm trained as a scholar of literature and medicine, and I look at nuance. And when I saw that he had smuggled into the document the wording from the Mississippi Gestational Age Act, which, as I understand it -- now I'm not a lawyer -- but isn't even law yet. And he was referring to unborn children rather than fetuses. I was just stunned," Squier told CNN's John Berman on "New Day." "I mean, I have read a lot of medical history going back for doing literature and medicine, and his is like a greatest hits of misogyny.">
