Alito Picks Uber-Right Law Clerk



Justice Sam Alito has chosen his five law clerks. The latest pick is not someone just out of law school, but a former Justice Department lawyer who was a close confidant of John Ashcroft:

Adam G. Ciongoli, 37, a senior vice president at Time Warner Inc., served as counselor to Ashcroft from 2001 to 2003. He attended Georgetown University Law Center, clerked for Alito at the Philadelphia-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit from 1995 to 1996, and helped prepare the justice for his recent confirmation hearings.

Ciongoli was an aide to Ashcroft during Ashcroft's years as a senator and then came to the Justice Department, where he advised Ashcroft on terrorism issues in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Among the issues he worked on were the detention of thousands of terrorism suspects in the United States and the use of military tribunals to try them.

Can you spell c-o-n-f-l-i-c-t? Apparantly, Justice Alito cannot.

these neo-con suits are the enemies of women and children.

remember, Ashcroft and company are afraid of a woman's nipple, which makes them deadly.

may they all fall down

3. When scanning this, seeing the name 'Ciongoli' my brain

interpreted it as 'consiglieri'.
