The Alito Nomination: A Treat for Extremists
Failed leadership from A Divider, Not a Uniter
Texas Democratic Party Chairman Charles Soechting issued the following statement following the nomination of Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court:
“For the extreme and divisive elements in the Republican Party, Halloween, 2005, is both trick and treat. Within days of pulling off the trick of scuttling the President’s nomination of his friend and adviser, Harriet Miers, the President rewarded them with a treat: the nomination of Samuel Alito.”
“By caving in to pressure from the extreme right, the President has opened the door to a divisive nomination fight battle and the scary specter of right wing judicial activism at a time when the country desperately needs leadership that brings Americans together.”
“The Miers-Alito fiasco reveals once again that George W. Bush is a divider, not a uniter.”
