November 21, 2005 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents an editorial regarding U.S. Supreme Court Justice nominee Samuel Alito. Alito's nomination is a result of pressure placed on President George W. Bush to please right-wing conservatives. Alito has ruled that a woman seeking an abortion must notify her husband. The author suggests that this endorses what amounts to a man's property rights over his wife's reproduction. Alito's view of the Constitution on a variety of issues is discussed, including issues of antitrust, sexual and racial discrimination, and civil liberties. Democrats must show that a right-wing Court would be dangerous to a majority of Americans.
