Fidelis on Alito Nomination: “First Class”
WASHINGTON — Following President Bush’s nomination of 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr. to serve as Associate Justice for the United States Supreme Court, Fidelis President Joseph Cella released the following statement:
“Judge Alito is a first class nominee and his judicial philosophy appears to be one that reflects faithfulness to the Constitution and the rule of law. Judge Alito’s background and temperament make him particularly suited to serve as a Justice on the Supreme Court.
The depth and breadth of Judge Alito’s intellect and service to his country is exemplary. We are confident he will extend his record of judicial restraint and impartial leadership on the Supreme Court.
Judge Alito is a man of deep character, humility, and a congenial disposition that will serve him well during his confirmation hearings.
Judge Alito is likely to spark a robust debate about the Constitution and the proper role of a judge and the courts. We welcome this debate and believe it to be a healthy exercise for the country.
Given the likelihood of a vigorous debate, we remain steadfast in our insistence upon a fair and dignified process free of any attack on Judge Alito’s Catholic faith and personal beliefs.
Early attacks by left wing interest groups are particularly worrisome, and there are signs they are already placing heavy pressure on their allies in the Senate to stop at nothing to block this nomination.
Judge Alito exemplifies an American success story that we should all be proud of. We thank President Bush for selecting an outstanding nominee, and we are standing by his side as we help advance the nomination of Judge Alito.”
