Fuck Scalito and his "pride" in anti-abortion work. Really, just FUCK him.
It's the WOMAN'S CHOICE...the woman's RIGHT, BITCH.



Alito argued against abortion rights, quotas
Court nominee proud of work to show no constitutional right to abortion

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10039261/

WASHINGTON - Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito wrote in 1985 that he was proud of his Reagan-era work helping the government argue that “the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion,” documents showed Monday.

Alito, who was applying in 1985 to become deputy assistant attorney general in the Reagan administration, boasted in a document that he helped “to advance legal positions in which I personally believe very strongly.”

“I am particularly proud of my contributions in recent cases in which the government argued that racial and ethnic quotas should not be allowed and that the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion,” he said.

The document was included in more than 100 pages of material about Alito released by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library on Monday.

6. Why is it considered such a bad thing to have a litmus test?
If I was a Senator, and I knew what I now know about Alito, I would vote NO. And I would do it because of the abortion issue. I'm sure the media would scream, "But that's a litmus test!!"

Yes, it is. But what is wrong with a litmus test? I have other litmus tests. Before a SC nominee gets my vote, he has to be against slavery, child labor, racial discrimination, and torture. Are those bad litmus tests?

I am in favor of the right to privacy. I want Supreme Court justices who also favor it. I consider it the responsibility of the Senate to see that idealogues do not interpret that right away. Alito's record shows that he does not plan to uphold the right to privacy as it pertains to a woman's right to make her own reproductive decisions.

What good is the Senate if they do not protect the citizens from idealogy based in religion?

9. Mainstream America is saying
the same thing.No to Alito...but are the Dems gonna DO something about him?DO or die situation we are facing with Alito...

Came across this about Alito from the great Bob Shrum. A Must read for those that are fed up with the Dems not standing up and who want Alito fillibustered.Made me write some emails demanding they do just that after I read it.
I was going to make a new post out fo it but I apparently don't have enough posts to do that.

10. Kick. Nom. And fellas? His confirmation would be shit for you, too.
I'm sorry that so many people on this board still need to be motivated to do something about this misogynist asshole--and that this need for motivation is so clearly about misogynist ignorance about what is vile, offensive, wrong, illegal, wrong, unconscionable, wrong, insane, dangerous and wrong about an anti-choice perspective. "Just leave it up to the Dems, they'll take care of it," and "oh, well, it's not like my body or my rights are really affected--after all, it's up to my women to prevent and deal with pregnancy" still seems to be the prevailing view of the apathetic, misogynist, ignorant users on this board (with wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters and daughters I grieve for daily). This isn't a good fight. This isn't "just another battle." This is about our lives, our right to the same medical privacy a man enjoys and keeping some semblance of integrity in our judiciary system. Keep informed. Keep communicating with the ignorant and the assholish, who do not, no matter what they might desperately try to believe, have a valid reason for their perspectives. Stay vigilant. THIS IS OUR LIVES.

14. They don't need a constitutional right. Its not illegal
So, apparently, he is trying to lay the groudwork for a law making abortion illegal.

That way, when its challenged, he can say that there is no constitutional right to abortion.

Good thing he isn't an activist judge!
