Kiss it goodbye Alito---They got ya now !!!
Those damn memos and emails will come back to bite you every time.

They have a memo now where Alito in no uncertain terms wants to "OVERTURN" Roe V Wade. No ambiguity. No wiggle room.


Goodbye Altito and take your wiretap equipment with you. :bounce:

2. Don't kid yourself.....
this doesn't matter in the least. There is no way to stop Alito from confirmed. He could come right out and say that he intendeds to see Roe Vs. Wade overturned and that would only work in his favor. If the republicans can be assured that Alito would work to overturn Roe Vs Wade they will not hesitate to use the 'nuclear option'. This has been one of the their goals for a long time.
