Samuel Alito’s America - why he is bad for America
ALITO WOULD OVERTURN ROE V. WADE: In his dissenting opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Alito concurred with the majority in supporting the restrictive abortion-related measures passed by the Pennsylvania legislature in the late 1980’s. Alito went further, however, saying the majority was wrong to strike down a requirement that women notify their spouses before having an abortion. The Supreme Court later rejected Alito’s view, voting to reaffirm Roe v. Wade.
Does he also believe that women are a man's property?

ALITO WOULD ALLOW RACE-BASED DISCRIMINATION: Alito dissented from a decision in favor of a Marriott Hotel manager who said she had been discriminated against on the basis of race. The majority explained that Alito would have protected racist employers by “immuniz an employer from the reach of Title VII if the employer’s belief that it had selected the ‘best’ candidate was the result of conscious racial bias.”
So if you are a white supremist, it is ok to discriminate.
Ironic that Bush should nominate him on the day that Rosa Parks lies in state at the Capitol. Get to the back of the bus, non-whites.
ALITO WOULD ALLOW DISABILITY-BASED DISCRIMINATION: In Nathanson v. Medical College of Pennsylvania, the majority said the standard for proving disability-based discrimination articulated in Alito’s dissent was so restrictive that “few if any…cases would survive summary judgment.”
You disabled people need to go back to hiding in houses, and quit trying to be productive members of society.
ALITO WOULD STRIKE DOWN THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT: The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) “guarantees most workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a loved one.” The 2003 Supreme Court ruling upholding FMLA essentially reversed a 2000 decision by Alito which found that Congress exceeded its power in passing the law.
ALITO SUPPORTS UNAUTHORIZED STRIP SEARCHES: In Doe v. Groody, Alito agued that police officers had not violated constitutional rights when they strip searched a mother and her ten-year-old daughter while carrying out a search warrant that authorized only the search of a man and his home.
ALITO HOSTILE TOWARD IMMIGRANTS: In two cases involving the deportation of immigrants, the majority twice noted Alito’s disregard of settled law. In Dia v. Ashcroft, the majority opinion states that Alito’s dissent “guts the statutory standard” and “ignores our precedent.” In Ki Se Lee v. Ashcroft, the majority stated Alito’s opinion contradicted “well-recognized rules of statutory construction.”

Don't have a problem with this. It takes two to have a baby and they both should be aware if one is wanting an abortion.

Do you have to be rabidly anti-abortion to be a conservative?
Do you have to be rabidly "Christian" to be a conservative?
Seems to me like there must be some conservative SCUS candidates out there who aren't quite so far "out there" on the right.... I understand the system.... Conservative President, Conservative nominees..... But come on!!!

Best candidate should always get the job. Don't lower standards by hiring people not qualified. Instead, help people come up to standards.

Lotsa info on the airwaves..... Have we made a final determination as to whether it's "notification" or "permission?" (not being a wise guy.... I'm not sure and it IS a big difference...)

...Except that's not what was said.
I agree... best candidate gets the job..... but race cannot be one of the factors used in judging the best candidate.

Notification. And I seem to remember a woman can bypass notification if a judge determines it would endanger her safety, but I'm not positive.
He ruled that female students who were phyisically sexually abused, including touching and sodomization, by fellow students during the course of a class do not have a cause of action under 42 U.S.C 1983 because the state does not have a special duty of caring for them. 42 U.S.C. 1983 allows for civil action for deprivation of rights.
