Hispanic Leaders Speak out Against Alito

January 19, 2006

Several leaders of Hispanic organizations expressed opposition Thursday to the likely Senate confirmation of Samuel Alito as a Supreme Court justice, predicting his accession to the bench would erode civil rights and advances made by Hispanics in the United States.

During a press conference, the leaders said their opposition to Alito was due to analysis of his 15-year record as a federal judge, and to the fact that, in their opinion, he has been hostile to the interests of minorities.

Alito "is not the best person" for the Hispanic community and his judicial record shows that, said Gabriela Lemus, director of policy and legislation for the League of United Latin American Citizens.

Lemus added that the opposition to Alito "is not personal," saying that no one questions his credentials nor his educational background or intellectual acumen.

1. That is good to hear!

2. Big. Fat. Kick. Too many Democrats, Progressives, and even liberals

erroneously believe that in order to secure the interest of Latino voters, they must support anti-choice agendas. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Wrong in so many ways. The Left needs to STOP believing that.

5. One more time.

STOP believing it, fools who do. And go hook up with some Latin voters in this country if you'd like more information about which Latin and Hispanic American citizens are reticent to vote Democrat and why.

3. And again. Please read and review.

Thanks!
