Bush's Latest Supreme Court Nominee Brags about His Bigotry. - Dawn Sanders, Care2
Much worry has arisen over Judge Samuel Alito's bragging about his membership in the Concerned Alumni of Princeton, a group known for its fervent hostility to the admission of women and minorities to the university.
New revelations show that Alito did exactly that in a job application he submitted to President Reagan's Justice Department in 1985, a full 13 years after he'd graduated from Princeton. Indeed, this group was considered so overtly racist and sexist by many fellow alumni that it collapsed and disbanded in 1986.
With Alito boasting such extreme views, how can Americans have any confidence that he would act to uphold equal protection under the law if confirmed to serve on the Supreme Court?
Alito's example is shedding some much needed light on what it means to be an "extreme conservative" in America.
