It’s not news that Alito disapproved of Roe v. Wade

Liberal activist groups are abuzz about a 1985 memo that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito wrote arguing that the government “should make clear that we disagree with Roe v. Wade.” But did anybody in America not already think this was Alito’s view? Isn’t that why President Bush picked him? Besides, even as important as abortion is, the Senate should not block a highly qualified and competent nominee based on this one issue.
