Here's a summary of activist alerts in my mailbox today regarding Samuel Alito:

Planned Parenthood e-mail from January 9, 2006:

But the facts don't lie: Alito has admitted that he opposes the right to choose, and he has spent his career as an ultraconservative judge chipping away at the right to privacy and the protections for women's health that are guaranteed by the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.

ACLU e-mail from January 10, 2006

The ACLU opposes a Supreme Court nominee only when his or her record clearly indicates that the nominee is fundamentally hostile to civil liberties. With that context and standard in mind, we believe there is no choice but to oppose the Alito nomination.

Americans United e-mail from January 9, 2006

Alito's judicial record makes clear that he would work to dismantle the wall of separation between church and state and to open the door to majority rule on religious matters.
