Alito�s Dissent in Casey
Filed under: General, Abortion, Judiciary � Patterico @ 1:08 pm
There is a lot of buzz [UPDATE: now confirmed!] saying that Judge Samuel Alito may be President Bush�s nominee for the Supreme Court. If Judge Alito is nominated, the primary Democrat talking point is going to be his dissent in the case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 947 F.2d 682 (3d Cir. 1991). In that case, Judge Alito wrote a cogent dissent which argued for the validity of a law requiring spousal notification before an abortion."
