Samuel Alito

[drbrumley]

If you were truly a man of conviction, you would find a way to do without. Buy purchasing Chinese products you are willingly funding abortion.

Riggggghhhhhhhhtttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Sam Alito is a pro abortionist for simply following immigration law and sending a Chinaman back to China, then anyone who funds the Chinese government is ten times the pro abortionist.

Here is an article from todays NY[commie]Times describing their view on how Alito might shift the balance of SCOTUS in a more conservative direction.

From State of the Union address by President George W. Bush, 31 January 2006:

"A hopeful society depends on courts that deliver equal justice under the law. The Supreme Court now has two superb new members – new members on its bench: Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Sam Alito. I thank the Senate for confirming both of them. I will continue to nominate men and women who understand that judges must be servants of the law, and not legislate from the bench."

Good quote! :up:

From Wikipedia:

A concurring opinion in Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey v. Farmer, 220 F.3d 127 (3rd Cir. 2000), [16] in which Judge Alito recognized that a New Jersey law banning intact dilation and extraction (commonly called "partial-birth abortion") was unconstititional in light of the then recent Supreme Court case of Stenberg v. Carhart, 530 U.S. 914, 120 S.Ct. 2597, 147 L.Ed.2d 743 (2000), which struck down a nearly identical law in Nebraska.

So he's for partial-birth abortion. (If you are unfamiliar with this method, it involves delivering a fully developed baby completely out of the birth canal except for his head. The abortionist then punctures the baby's head and sucks out the child's brain with a suction machine.)

In 1995, voted to strike down an abortion restriction in a Pennsylvania law that required women seeking to use Medicaid funds to abort a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest to report the incident to law enforcement officials and identify the offender.

Ruled the Constitution does not afford protection to the unborn (emphasis mine) in a 1997 challenge to a New Jersey law that prevents parents from suing for damages on behalf of the wrongful death of a fetus.

Oh yeah, this guy is definitely on our side. :nono:

Apparently he's already showing a liberal slant. He's voted against the death penalty his first day on the job.

Any specifics?

Or are you just mad that Alito doesn't want to kill everyone?

An interesting thing for advisors and speech writers to say. I wonder what our boy President would have said.

New Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito split with the court’s conservative wing Wednesday night, refusing to let Missouri execute a death-row inmate contesting lethal injection.

Alito, handling his first case, sided with inmate Michael Taylor, who had won a stay from an appeals court earlier in the evening. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas supported lifting the stay, but Alito joined the remaining five members in turning down Missouri’s last-minute request to allow a midnight execution.
.....
Separately, the court acting without Alito rejected Taylor’s appeal that argued that Missouri’s death penalty system is racist. Taylor is black and his victim was white. He filed the appeal on Tuesday, the day that Alito was confirmed by the Senate to replace Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

“The death penalty as practiced in the state of Missouri discriminates against African-Americans such as (Taylor), such that it is a badge of slavery,” the justices were told in a filing by Taylor’s lawyer, John William Simon.

Taylor’s legal team had pursued two challenges — claiming that lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment and that his constitutional rights were violated by a system tilted against black defendants.

Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, a pro-death penalty group, said Taylor had only a long-shot appeal because of federal limits on when courts can hear final pleas from death row inmates.

“The constant filing of new legal proceedings drags cases out forever and effectively negates the death penalty. That’s exactly what Congress wanted to stop,” he said.

Alito is expected to side with prosecutors more often than O’Connor, who has been the swing vote in capital punishment cases, Scheidegger said.

From the Kansas Star:

Inmate Michael Taylor of Kansas City had been scheduled to die by lethal injection at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. The Missouri Department of Corrections was proceeding as if the state's first execution of the year might be carried out as originally planned.

As of late Tuesday, the high court had not ruled in the Missouri case. It also was hearing appeals on two other executions and was welcoming a new justice, Samuel Alito, who was sworn in earlier in the day.

Taylor pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, forcible rape, armed criminal action and kidnapping for the March 1989 killing of 15-year-old Ann Harrison.

She was waiting for her school bus when Taylor, now 39, and Roderick Nunley, now 40, forced her into their stolen vehicle. Taylor raped Harrison in Nunley's mother's basement and then helped Nunley kill her because they were afraid she would identify them.

That's pretty specific!

 

[koban]

:doh: He didn't overturn the conviction!

He didn't release the guy!

All he did, apparently, was rule that the lower court could hear the case.

So you agree with his decision then?

The guy admitted to kidnapping, raping, and murdering a fifteen year old girl! Ann Harrison would be thirty-one by now probably have her own family. How much more time do we need to take with this killer?
