Why US big business is pleased with Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court
President Bush’s nomination of Samuel Alito to fill Sandra Day O’Connor’s seat as an associate justice meets the demands of the corporate elite for another vote on the Supreme Court to slash government regulation of business operations. Alito has, at the same time, expressed sufficiently reactionary views on “hot button” issues such as abortion to placate the religious extremists who torpedoed last month’s nomination of White House counsel Harriet Miers.
