It's Hammertime!
Facts about Alito:
- Alito stated in an application for Asst. Deputy Attorney General that he did not believe women had a constitutional right to reproductive choice.
- As the lone dissenter (disagreeing even with Michael Chertoff, now head of Bush's Homeland Security Department), he would have upheld the strip search of a 10-year-old girl without a valid warrant.
- Again in dissent, Alito would have upheld a PA law requiring women, in many cases, to notify their husbands before obtaining abortions.
- In dissent again, Alito said that a congressional law restricting the transfer and possession of machine guns was unconstitutional.
- While working under Attorney General Edwin Meese, Alito urged President Reagan to veto a bill to protect consumers from used car dealers who roll back odometers -- he said it wasn't the federal government's job to protect citizens' health, safety and welfare!
