Vanessa at Feministing reports that both the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) have officially declared their opposition to Samuel Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court. (Scroll down for more groups opposed to ScAlito.)
Co-president of the NWLC, Marcia Greenberger, stated:
“[Alito’s] record is too clear, the stakes are too high, and a series of mounting inconsistent statements and evasions are too serious to accept Judge Alito’s assurances of an open mind on rights women of this country rely on and hold dear.”
All 42 House members of the CBC voted unanimously against Alito’s nomination. Congresswoman and the Judicial Nominations Chair Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) said, “The stakes for Black people are as high as they can get, and for that reason, how senators vote cannot and will not be forgotten.”
A few other groups that oppose Alito:
The Feminist Majority, the National Organization for Women, the National Council of Women’s Organizations, People for the American Way, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, Alliance for Justice, NARAL Pro-Choice America, MoveOn.org, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, National Council of Jewish Women, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, National Abortion Federation, the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association
