Have a look at some of his quotes. It is fucking unreal that Bush would appoint someone like this. I know that this has been said so many times as to have lost its meaning, but still, this is quite an outrage. This man is clearly partisan and has no intention of ruling according to the Constitution and precedent. He is a clear partisan. He is too extreme. He seems to posess no qualities of impartiality, objectivity, restraint or even good sense that one would expect of a judge.

Alito, a federal appellate judge nominated by President Bush to the nation’s highest court, was a young lawyer working for the solicitor general’s office in 1985 when he applied for a position under Attorney General Edwin Meese.

As part of his application, Alito sent in a document saying his work in the solicitor general’s office had included helping “to advance legal positions in which I personally believe very strongly.”

“I am particularly proud of my contributions in recent cases in which the government argued that racial and ethnic quotas should not be allowed and that the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion,” he wrote. When he wrote this document, he was working as an assistant to the solicitor general, where he stayed from 1981 to 1987. Although he sought the job of deputy assistant attorney general in 1985, he did not win that job until 1987.

In the document, Alito declared himself a “lifelong registered” Republican and a Federalist Society member, and said he had donated money to the National Republican Congressional Committee, the National Conservative Political Action Committee and several GOP candidates.

“I am and always have been a conservative and an adherent to the same philosophical views that I believe are central to this administration,” Alito said.

Alito also wrote that he believed “very strongly in limited government, federalism, free enterprise, the supremacy of the elected branches of government, the need for a strong defense and effective law enforcement and the legitimacy of a government role in protecting traditional values.”
