Court nominee proud of work to show no constitutional right to abortion

[Jon8503]

WASHINGTON - Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito wrote back in 1985 that he was proud of his Reagan-era work helping the government argue that “the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion,” documents showed Monday.

“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 said.

In the document, Alito also 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.

This should be grounds for a filibuster. Whether it happens or not will have to be seen.
