Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Senator Feinstein today said on CNN that she's comfortable with Alito's answers about Roe v. Wade, which suggests to me that she's feeling comfortable with Alito's nomination. I am concerned about Alito's nomination in part because his prior decisions suggest that he would vote to severely restrict the ability of people to bring lawsuits (called "standing") on environmental issues and on behalf of animals (who, as a legal matter, cannot bring suit themselves). Here's a link to a review of Alito's record; page 102 discusses standing in environmental cases: http://media.pfaw.org/stc/alito-final.pdf Here's Senator Feinstein's phone number if you want to let her know how you feel about the Alito nomination (it took me less than 1 minute to call): 415-393-0707 Thea Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars.
