Judge Alito consistently has used procedural and evidentiary standards to rule against female. minority. age. and disability claimants.... Judge Alito seems relatively willing to defer to the claims of employers and the government over those of advancing civil rights claims. Similarly. a Knight Ridder review of Judge Alitos opinions concluded that Judge Alito "has worked quietly but resolutely to weave a conservative legal agenda into the fabric of the Nations laws" and that he "seldom sided with a criminal defendant. a foreign national facing deportation. an employee alleging discrimination. or consumers suing big business." After reviewing 221 of Judge Alitos opinions in divided cases. the Washington Post concluded that Judge Alito is "clearly tough minded . . . having very little sympathy for those asserting rights against the government." The pattern is clear. and I think it is unacceptable. I dont think you should put somebody on the Court who makes access to justice in the United States harder and more elusive for people who already face incredible obstacles when trying to have their voices heard in court. I dont think we should put somebody on the Court who will fail to serve as an effective check on excessive Executive power.
