Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

As Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito faces his first day of
questioning by the Senate Judiciary Committee today, don't expect a
full and frank exchange of views. As John Nichols writes in the Online
Beat, as the hearings unfold, Alito will lie to the committee,
intentionally and repeatedly, about his views on the role of the Court
and the limits of presidential power. To cut through the fog, Nichols
urges, senators should press Alito to explain his view of Bush v. Gore
and what the Court's proper role should have been.

exclusive offering questions for Alito.

Oppose Samuel Alito, Call Your Senators Today

Samuel Alito is exactly what the radical right has demanded: a Supreme
Court nominee with a clear anti-choice record. He wrote that "the
Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion."

As of today, many senators still have not stated their position on
Samuel Alito?s nomination. This means we have a unique chance to make
a real impact, but it will only work if you call your senators NOW!
Visit the link below to take action and learn more. A woman?s right to
choose hangs in the balance.

Please click below to write your senators today.
