State of the Union Stronger With Justice Alito
Scorched Earth Attacks Have Failed, Election Year Consequences Brewing

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Following the (58-42) vote confirming Judge Samuel Alito to the United States Supreme Court, Fidelis President Joseph Cella released the following statement:

"With his even temperament and respect for the rule of law will, we believe Justice Alito will serve on the Supreme Court with distinction. We congratulate him on his confirmation and wish him well in his continued service to our country.

"The state of the union is stronger with Justice Alito on the Supreme Court, and ushers a new era of respect for the rule of law. Without a doubt, Justice Alito’s confirmation is the single biggest domestic victory to date for President Bush.

"Justice Alito and his family faced unprecedented attacks by liberal groups and their allies in the Senate with great dignity.

"These scorched earth attacks on Justice Alito have failed and have disgraced the Senate and the important process of confirmation hearings. Americans reject such mean-spirited political attacks and Americans reject judicial activism.

"Swinging wildly at Justice Alito who is eminently qualified to serve on the Supreme Court, further illustrates how liberals are out of touch with Middle American values and are simply desperate for campaign money for the 2006 elections.

"Such behavior will have consequences in this election year and beyond."
