Alito's True Colors Revealed

Alito's Smoking Gun: "Now, maybe I'm cockeyed here, but I don't read Alito's abortion assertion as either personal or political. A personal view would say, 'I'm opposed to abortion.' A political declaration would say, 'Abortion is a bad public policy.' But those aren't the sentiments that Alito voiced. What he said, if you'll pardon the strict construction here, is that there is no constitutional right to an abortion. Which is a viewpoint, if agreed to by five Supreme Court justices, that can change the law, and social fabric, of the land."

I have to agree completely. Alito is clearly giving his legal opinion here. He is not representing anyone but himself and how he is likely to rule. So, among his other lies about recusing himself, now he is lying to senators about his view on Roe. No wonder the far right is so pleased with this nomination.
