Mrs Sam Alito hosts pro-choice group fundraiser
from Novacula-

Mrs. Justice's choice
Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, was listed on top of the host committee for an Oct. 11 fund-raiser in East Brunswick, N.J., helping state Sen. Tom Kean Jr., the Republican Senate candidate in New Jersey.
It is unusual for a Supreme Court justice's spouse to get involved in partisan politics, and pro-life activists were astounded that Alito's wife would back a pro-choice candidate. The Kean event was run by ''It's My Party Too,'' the political action committee that raises money for pro-choice Republicans.

Kean's incumbent Democratic opponent, Sen. Robert Menendez, voted against Alito's confirmation to the high court. Kean has announced he would have voted for Alito.

2. She could have more effectively protected a woman's right to choose...
...by opposing her own husband for the US Supreme Court.

5. This can be used to throw doubt on Scalito's anti-choice credentials
Throw this into an email about Kuo's book "Tempting Faith," and send it to all the repukes.
