Meet Judge Alito ! ! !
Advertisements [?]
Read Judge Samuel Alito's dissenting opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 947 F.2d 682 (3d Cir. 1991). Instead of following the law, he tried to let the politicians re-write the Constitution to restrict a woman's right to make decisions about her own body!

Read Judge Alito's dissenting opinion in United States v. Rybar, 103 F.3d 273 (3d Cir. 1996), where he tried to ignore almost 70 years of cases which had clearly decided the scope of Congress's authority! Here's a bonus: Judge Alito doesn't think Congress has the authority to regulate private citizens' ownership of machine guns!

Read Judge Alito's dissenting opinion in Banks v. Beard, 399 F.3d 134 (3d Cir. 2005), where he tried to re-write the law so prisoners didn't have access to newspapers or family photos!

Finally, read Judge Alito's dissenting opinions in Sheridan v. Dupont, 74 F.3d 1439 (3d Cir. 1996), and Bray v. Marriott Hotels, 110 F.3d 986 (3d Cir. 1997), where Judge Alito gives a big judicial OK to racial and gender discrimination!



Of course, even the Republican-dominated court of appeals and Supreme Court thought Judge Alito's ideas were radical, out of the mainstream, and maybe a little bit crazy.

But now just envision an America where each of these dissenting opinions by Judge Alito has become the universal law of the land!

Yea for President Bush and hooray for America!
