Questions for Judge Alito

January 11th. 2006
Sent to but not published in the New York Times

Judge Alito, you said that your comment that the "constitution does not protect the right to an abortion" was made in the context of seeking a political job in the Reagan administration. With the implication that you were saying what your potential employer wanted to hear. You are now applying for a different job. Are you saying what you think we want to hear rather than what you believe?
