As always, I give the general disclaimer, that I believe everyone needs to do a bit of research before making any decisions. This is one thing though that I’m giving you a heads up to check out and not ignore.

I’m talking about the President’s new nomonation of Alito to the Supreme Court. I didn’t have a very big background on him so I did some research. I checked as many nuetral sources as I could find and it honestly has me scared. I suggest you do some research and get involved if you feel for or against. I can see this as getting pretty big in the news and its time now to get involved if you want to have any influence.

EDIT: Got a little flack for this so i decided to clarify. The sources I was speaking about are not the sources qouted below however I do respect these people’s opioins. I used an encylopedia and found some biographies and written statements by him as my sources to come to this desision.

Here is what some people have to say:

“If confirmed, Alito could very well fundamentally alter the balance of the court and push it dangerously to the right, placing at risk decades of American progress in safeguarding our fundamental rights and freedoms.”
–Sen. Ted Kennedy

“Has the right wing now forced a weakened President to nominate a divisive justice in the mold of Antonin Scalia?”
–Sen. John Kerry

I can’t believe I’m going here but here a few patitions if you feel the sameway.
