Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito has enviros worried | By Amanda Griscom Little | Grist Magazine | Muckraker | 01 Nov 2005: "Enviro advocates in D.C. have spent the last 24 hours digging through Samuel Alito's extensive paper trail for clues as to how he might vote on environmental cases were he confirmed as a U.S. Supreme Court justice.
A staunchly conservative judge who's served on the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for 15 years, Alito was nominated by President Bush yesterday to fill the slot being vacated by Sandra Day O'Connor. He's already a hit with Republican senators as well as Bush's right-wing base, which squelched the candidacy of Harriet Miers.
Environmentalists, meanwhile, are joining many progressives and Democrats in crying foul over the nomination.
