ALITO PROMISES to KEEP KILLING BABIES

According to the pro-abortion Senator Specter (whom Bush helped defeat a pro-lifer in the last election), Sam Alito took some horrible positions pertaining to the Constitution and abortion.

Alito opined that killing babies is "embedded in the culture" and so we must follow it as precedent (stare decisis). Why the pro-aborters didn't have to follow "stare decisis" when abortion was codified in 1973, was not explained.

Alito referred to a woman's "right to choose". He didn't specify WHAT women had the right to choose, but the implication was to choose to murder their babies. Of course nobody should have the "right to choose" murder.

Alito promised he would not let any potential backbone get in the way, since his personal views would not be considered if they might stop the baby-killing culture.

And to cap it off, Alito referred to the Constitution as a "living thing", rather than a static, settled document. IOW, it can evolve to be twisted to mean anything the Courts desire.

No Christian Constitutionalist has any business supporting Sam Alito for the Supreme Court.

Alito Assures Specter on Abortion Views

Sen. Specter Says Nominee Alito Assured Him He Would Not Let Personal Views Drive Rulings

By DAVID ESPO AP Special CorrespondentWASHINGTON Dec 2, 2005 —

Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, who expressed strong opposition to abortion rights two decades ago, pledged Friday that his personal views on the subject "would not be a factor" in his rulings, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said Alito had told him in a private meeting that "with respect to his personal views on a woman's right to choose … that is not a matter to be considered in the deliberation on a constitutional issue of a woman's right to choose. The judicial role is entirely different."

Specter, who supports abortion rights, said he was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with what he had heard earlier in his office, and emphasized that he would question Alito vigorously about the issue at confirmation hearings scheduled to begin Jan. 9.

Specter also said he had questioned Alito about the importance of legal precedent, known as the principle of "stare decisis. "

Judge Alito says that when a matter is embedded in the culture, it's a considerable factor in the application of stare decisis," the senator said. He added that Alito had told him that the Constitution "is a living thing in the sense that it protects rights by setting out principles to be applied in changing circumstances."
