Samuel Alito Watch: 1985 Memo – Roe v. Wade Should Be Overturned

The ASSociated Press has Alito Argued to Overturn Roe in 1985 Memo

Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito wrote in a June 1985 memo that the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion should be overturned, a finding certain to enliven January’s confirmation hearings. In a recommendation to the solicitor general on filing a friend-of- court brief, Alito said that the government “should make clear that we disagree with Roe v. Wade and would welcome the opportunity to brief the issue of whether, and if so to what extent, that decision should be overruled.”

The June 3, 1985 document was one of 45 released by the National Archives on Friday. A total of 744 pages were made public.

And this is a surprise?

The documents released Friday are the latest involving Alito and abortion.

In paperwork released earlier from Alito’s time in the Justice Department’s solicitor general’s office, he recommended a legal strategy of dismantling abortion rights piece by piece. And as part of an application for a job as deputy assistant attorney general, Alito said the Constitution does not guarantee abortion rights.

The latest memo is certain to stir controversy as the Senate prepares for confirmation hearings for Alito, slated to begin Jan. 9.

There will be NO controversy but just SABOTAGE of the nomination by the LEFT.

The “Borking” of Judge Alito is beginning in earnest.

Stay tuned for hearings which begin January 9th.
