ALITO SAYS CONSTITUTION BELOW "STARE DECISIS"

***

The following comments offered by Samuel Alito should disqualify him from the bench:

ALITO: That's not a formality to me, that's the way in which I think a judge or a justice has to address legal issues. And I think thatis very important. And I don't know a way to answer a question about how I would decide a constitutional question that might come up inthe future, other than to say I would go through that whole process. I don't agree with the idea that the Constitution always trumps stare decisis.

SCHUMER: It doesn't always, but sometimes...

SPECTER: Let him finish his answer, Senator Schumer.

ALITO: I don't agree with the theory that the Constitution always trumps stare decisis. There would be no room for the doctrine of stare decisis in constitutional law if that were the case.

Did you all notice this? Alito said it twice, so you can't help but notice it. Alito REJECTS the idea that the Constitution always trumps stare decisis! In other words, there are times when stare decisis trumps the Constitution!

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, not stare decisis. Therefore, Alito's comment alone disqualifies him from the Bench.
