CWA Says Alito Will Continue to Protect Religious Liberty 1/10/2006 Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America (CWA) says Judge Samuel Alito will uphold and protect the religious liberties of the American people if he is entrusted to serve on the United States Supreme Court.
“Judge Alito is a judge who understands the constitutional rights of Americans in this country,” said Jan LaRue, CWA’s Chief Counsel.
“Yesterday, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee tried to make Justice O’Connor the gold standard to which they will hold Judge Alito. Nothing could be worse, especially when it comes to protecting our first liberty, religious liberty. After all, O'Connor thinks it violates the Establishment Clause to publicly display the Ten Commandments.
“Judge Alito has consistently protected the free exercise rights of all religious people, including Christians, Jews, Muslims, Native Americans and the artwork of a young school boy thankful for Jesus. He has ruled against government actions that discriminate against or unfairly burden religion, and he has rejected government attempts to use the Establishment Clause to remove all things religious from the public square.
“He has demonstrated a unique combination of intellect, integrity, competence and experience in constitutional law which will drive his demand for justice in the United States Supreme Court.
“The Senate should confirm Judge Alito to the Supreme Court or the ongoing threat to religious liberty may continue.”
