ACLU announces opposition to Alito

It was quite eye opening to discover first thing this morning that the national ACLU board voted for only the third time in its history to oppose a nominee for the US Supreme Court (the other two were William Rehnquist and Robert Bork). Generally, we do not take a position on judicial nominees, in part because we could appear before them. Here's the ACLU's press release on our opposition to Alito.

Last month the national ACLU prepared a very thorough report on Alito. You can download it here.
