2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said yesterday that the judicial record of Bush Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito “raises serious questions about whether he will be steadfast in protecting our most fundamental rights.”
“I intend to closely examine Judge Alito’s record and qualifications and carefully monitor the Judiciary Committee hearings in order to determine whether he intends to be a guardian of the rule of law who puts fairness and justice before ideology,” Clinton said, in a statement posted to her web site.
Clinton warned that only after “a thoughtful and deliberate process of closely examining and scrutinizing Judge Alito’s record” will she be able to determine “whether he merits a seat on the highest court in the nation.”
Of course, Mrs. Clinton had no such problem with her husband’s last Supreme Court pick, ACLU chief counsel Ruth Bader Ginsburg - who was a wild-eyed left-wing ideologue who favored coed prisons and thought that 12-year-old girls should be allowed to have sex.
