Kerry Vows to Vote Against Alito.

h/t to Stop the ACLU

via Blogs for Bush

Sen. John Kerry said Sunday he will vote against Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. because he fears Alito would take the country “backwards.”

Kerry, the failed Democratic nominee for president in 2004, also voted against now-Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. But Alito, Kerry said Sunday, goes even farther than Roberts in undermining established legal precedents.

A flash point during Alito’s confirmation hearings was a 1985 memo he wrote saying that the “Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion” despite the Supreme Court’s 1973 Row v. Wade decision.

“I think he will shut the door of court access to the average person in America … ,” Kerry said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “I will vote against him because I think he will take the court backwards.” (Source)

Kerry, the failed Democratic nominee for president in 2004, also voted against now-Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. But Alito, Kerry said Sunday, goes even farther than Roberts in undermining established legal precedents.

As Matt at Blogs for Bush points out, slavery and seggregation were also beloved legal precedents.

IMnHO, if Kerry had his way women would not have the right to vote, either.

So, YAY for John F. Kerry...A loser in '04; a loser for life.

God Bless,
