Judge Alito is Far Right's Choice

"President Bush chose to placate the far right instead of appealing to
the fair-minded values of the American people," said Human Rights
Campaign President Joe Solmonese.

WASHINGTON - Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese made the
following statement today as President Bush announced the nomination of
Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.

"President Bush chose to placate the far right instead of appealing to
the fair-minded values of the American people. But every American
should
have a voice in the nomination. As the Senate does its constitutional
duty to consider Judge Alito's record, we must all voice our concerns.

"Alito is the far right's choice. His record on Congress's power to
protect Americans and a woman's right to choose give us a level of
understanding as to why he was the far right's choice. Our Constitution
does not belong to one narrow ideology. It belongs to all of us."

The Human Rights Campaign is the largest national lesbian, gay,
bisexual
and transgender political organization with members throughout the
country. It effectively lobbies Congress, provides campaign support and
educates the public to ensure that LGBT Americans can be open, honest
and safe at home, at work and in the community.
