Cops like Alito
And the disabled don't.
- The Fraternal Order of Police announced Monday that it will support Alito's nomination. "We believe that he will be an outstanding addition to the Supreme Court," said FOP President Chuck Canterbury.
- Disability rights groups planned to announce their opposition to Alito on Wednesday. They include ADA Watch/National Coalition for Disability Rights, Alliance of Disability Advocates, Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, National Council on Independent Living and World Association of People with Disabilities.
Strange. It's so unlike Bush to choose someone who will piss on the weak and further empower the powerful. So much for judicial oversight on overzealous police. So much for the rights of minorities, the disabled, gays, women.
By the way, Evangelical Christians are practically speaking in tongues over this nomination. So... if you're one of the 30% that STILL backs Bush, you're probably really happy. Congrats.
