I smell a fillibuster in our future ...
From PFLAW's American Way:
"A new bombshell document - a 1985 letter written by Bush Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito - confirms what People For the American Way has warned you about and what the White House has been trying to obscure: this nominee is a true believer and a dedicated foot-soldier in the right-wing plan to remake the judicial landscape of the United States of America. (Don't miss these stories in the Washington Post and the Boston Globe.)
Writing that he was honored to "help to advance legal positions in which I personally believe very strongly" as part of the Reagan Justice Department, Alito took particular pride in working against affirmative action and asserting that "the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion." He also defended "the legitimacy of a government role in protecting traditional values."
The letter landed him a job with Reagan's Attorney General Edwin Meese, but it could cost him one on the Supreme Court. Judge Alito showed a fervent allegiance to virtually every pet cause of the radical right. And there's no way for him to disavow these views by attributing them to the Reagan Administration, as Chief Justice John Roberts tried to do during his hearings.
So, how many people have you gotten to sign the petition to the Senate?"
