You talk about me, someone else is judging you...

Hmmm, don't know what to think about Alito, Bushie's new pick. Don't know enough about him. Yahoo.com has the following report:

For example, Alito joined the Army reserves while he was a college student because his draft lottery number made it likely he would be taken for the Vietnam War, his college roommates said.
Also, 30 years before the Supreme Court decriminalized gay sex, Alito declared on behalf of his group of fellow Princeton University students that "no private sexual act between consenting adults should be forbidden."
Alito, back in 1971, also called for an end to discrimination against homosexuals in hiring.

So that's a glimmer of hope, anyway. Course what he said 30 years ago, probably isn't all that relevant 30 years later after 15 years on the bench.

The Washington Post reports the following:


Eight years ago, a trio of federal appellate judges heard the case of Beryl Bray, a housekeeping manager at a Marriott hotel in Park Ridge, N.J., who alleged that she was denied a promotion because she was black. Two of the judges concluded that Bray had shown a lower court enough evidence of discrimination that she deserved a jury trial.
But the third judge, Samuel A. Alito, disagreed, writing that the hotel had merely committed "minor inconsistencies" in its rules for filling jobs and that it would be wrong to allow "disgruntled employees to impose the costs of trial on employers who, although they have not acted with the intent to discriminate, may have treated their employees unfairly."
Alito's dissent prompted a rebuke from his normally congenial colleagues. The federal law that bans employment discrimination, the other two judges wrote, "would be eviscerated" if courts followed Alito's logic.

This is probably a better indicator...federal laws being "evisecerated", yep that sounds like what Bushie and his cronies want, so maybe that's what we should expect from any of his picks.

If really fear for the future of this country.
