WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Edward Kennedy is pressing for documents on Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito's involvement with a conservative group that argued Princeton University lowered its admission standards to accept women and minorities.

In a letter on Thursday, Kennedy, D-Mass., asked Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., to make a formal request for files in the private papers of a founder and leader of Concerned Alumni of Princeton.

``In view of CAP's troubling opposition to equal educational opportunity for women, minorities and the disabled, it is important for the committee to learn more about Judge Alito's involvement in this organization,'' Kennedy wrote.

Alito's recollections differ from what he wrote when he was seeking appointment to the Reagan administration. In a 1985 job application letter, he wrote that he was currently a member of ``the Concerned Alumni of Princeton University, a conservative alumni group.''

1. Concerned

What is it about RW groups that they feel the need to call themselves "Concerned?" There's "Concerned Women for America" who seem to be concerned about women beoing pro-choice.

I suspect if I took the time to do a google search I'd find a few more concerned reactionaries out there.

2. Good -- go after that chauvinistic/racist bastard

Generally racists are also sexists --

mutant white males who think they are god's gift -- rather than god's joke (if there is indeed a god -- which I doubt).
