FOLKS'LL SAY ANYTHING TO GET A JOB...:

Alito rejected abortion as a right (Bill Sammon, November 14, 2005, THE WASHINGTON TIMES)

Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr., President Bush's Supreme Court nominee, wrote that "the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion" in a 1985 document obtained by The Washington Times.

"I personally believe very strongly" in this legal position, Mr. Alito wrote on his application to become deputy assistant to Attorney General Edwin I. Meese III. [...]

In direct, unambiguous language, the young career lawyer who served as assistant to Solicitor General Rex E. Lee, demonstrated his conservative bona fides as he sought to become a political appointee in the Reagan administration.

OJ:

Problem is, was he saying he opposed Roe to get a job back then, or hinting he supports it to get a job today?

OJ, you can now drop that torch you are carrying for Harriet Souter.
