MISLEADING AND MISCHARACTERIZING HIS RECORD: WHAT IS SAMUEL ALITO TRYING TO HIDE FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
Press Releases | The Alito File | January 11, 2006

In his answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Alito has repeatedly sought to paper over his past actions and statements and distance himself from his record. Alito’s explanations are misleading and mischaracterize both his judicial record and his well-documented legal views.

MISCHARACTERIZED HIS RECORD ON A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE:
Yesterday, responding to a question about his 1985 strategy memo on Thornburgh, Alito said, “I did not advocate in the memo that an argument be made that Roe be overruled.”

* In the spring of 1985, Samuel Alito, working in the Solicitor General’s office, wrote a memo to his superiors recommending that the Reagan administration file an amicus brief in two abortion cases facing the Supreme Court – including Thornburgh. Alito argued, "We should file a brief as amicus curiae supporting appellants in both cases. In the course of the brief, we should make clear that we disagree with Roe v. Wade and would welcome the opportunity to brief the issue of whether, and if so to what extent, that decision should be overruled."


The Real Sam Alito

“If I’m confirmed…I’ll be the same person I was on the Court of Appeals.”

# Supreme Court Nominee Samuel Alito, 1/11/06

Here’s a summary of who Alito “was on the Court of Appeals”:

A JUDGE WHO RARELY SIDED WITH THE INDIVIDUAL:

* “A Knight Ridder review of Alito's 311 published opinions on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals - each of singular legal or public policy importance - found a clear pattern…he's seldom sided with a criminal defendant, a foreign national facing deportation, an employee alleging discrimination or consumers suing big businesses.”



This should be our war cry..... "TORPEDO ALITO" !!

Some reporter asked them why they were doing this, didn't it seem like Alito was going to be confirmed? The man at the podium said "We have just begun to fight".

TORPEDO ALITO!
