Abstract

President Bush's current Supreme Court nominee, Judge Samuel Alito, has so far faced intense scrutiny regarding what his views on Roe v. Wade may be. But what are his views in other types of constitutional law cases? A decision Judge Alito authored in 2001, for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, is telling both as to his temperament, and his take on the First Amendment.
