AP just broke a story that Alito wrote a memo in 1985 stating that Roe v. Wade should be overturned:
Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito wrote in a June 1985 memo that the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion should be overturned.Let's see how Alito tries to squirm out of this one. He's had an excuse or obfuscation for everything else from his past. And, if he wants Roe to go, he'll take a lot of other privacy rights with him.
In a recommendation to the solicitor general on filing a friend-of-court brief, Alito said that the government "should make clear that we disagree with Roe v. Wade and would welcome the opportunity to brief the issue of whether, and if so to what extent, that decision should be overruled."
