CWA Congratulates Alito on Committee Approval

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) congratulates Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel Alito on being favorably reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee today by a 10 to 8 vote.

"Judge Alito deserves to be seated on the Supreme Court without delay," said Jan LaRue, CWA’s Chief Counsel. "The president has made a superb choice in Judge Alito. The Senate should confirm his nomination by unanimous consent. Sadly, that won’t happen because the process has been marred by partisan politics. Judge Alito’s knowledge of constitutional law, along with his years of judicial experience, respect for the rule of law, and impeccable character and judicial temperament, were evident throughout his hearings.

"Chairman Specter can be commended for running a fair and orderly hearing. Now it is up to the Senate to give Judge Alito a swift up-or-down vote.

"Anybody who watched the Alito hearing with an open mind, not to be confused with holes in the head, knows the liberals' distortion of Alito's record is desperation and deception at the deepest level," LaRue added.

Concerned Women for America (CWA) is the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization.
