"In 1997, Alito authored the majority opinion upholding a city's right to stage a holiday display that included a Nativity scene and a menorah because the city also included secular symbols and a banner emphasizing the importance of diversity. In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Alito was the sole dissenter on the Third Circuit, which struck a Pennsylvania law that required women seeking abortions to consult their husbands. He argued that many of the potential reasons for an abortion, such as "economic constraints, future plans, or the husbands' previously expressed opposition . . . may be obviated by discussion prior to abortion." The case went on to the Supreme Court, which upheld the lower court's decision 6 to 3."

Oh wow....this guy is the real thing.....HE WILL OVERTURN ROE!!!!

1. Scalia Light

[PDittie]

2. It's on.

Filibusters and nukes.

* is wounded so let's hit him while he's reeling.

[cornermouse]

3. Pretty much what you had to expect from Bush.

[StClone]

5. Exactly and just as expected

Move the subject off his utter failures by scaring us with this new Judicial monster on Halloween.

4. anyone know

where he fits into the bush* croney list?

8. Nepotism. Poppy appointed him to the 3rd District Ct. in 1990

Jonathan Alter just told Imus that Scalito supports telling the husband if his wife seeks an abortion. Buh-bye Rowe.

6. yes, he will overturn Roe ....................maybe

he is pure gold to the repugs, just what they have been waiting for.
I think filibuster is the only way, but not sure that will be enough
to unseat him....... he is scalia all over again.
My only aside to all of the abortion issue, is that IF they are
successful and overturn Roe, then the pharmaceuticals will be
slobbering all over themselves to push the morning after pill or
RU-486; just think of all the money they will spread around
Congress to grease the skids......
The abortion issue is Important, don't get me wrong, but it is not
the only issue. We should be talking about privacy issues, and the
Church over State issues that Scalia is so well known for.

7. He sounds like the perfect guy for the Repiglickens........

a regressive women hater who believes women are mere chattel for men and the kind of guy that would return this country to that 19th Century "utopia" that conservatives dream about in their twisted, frightened minds.
Will our Democratic leaders and the "group of 14" return a vote of no confidence for this social dinosaur? :eyes: I'd be willing to wager that Alito makes it in, that the Democrats will cave and any talk of "filibuster" will be squelched, "for the good of the country". :puke:

9. Could it be bush traded in

a sycophant for a psychopath?

Not suggesting that Alioto is one - but ... ?

[sellitman]

10. Yes he will.

Time to sterilize your coat hangers.

[redwitch]

12. He graduated from my high school with my oldest sister.

I've actually MET Sam Alito at my house- decades ago, but still... This is so odd.

[paparush]

13. Hammer the fact that Bush announced this guy on Halloween!

Scary..Fear..Monster..Fear..Creepy..Fear = PNAC/NeoCon recipe for success.

[Nikki Stone 1]

14. Scary SCOTUS?

I'm sure someone out there has a better name for him. :)
