Frases de Samuel Alito

Samuel Anthony Alito es un jurista de los Estados Unidos. El 31 de octubre de 2005, el Presidente George W. Bush nominó a Alito para ser Juez de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos tras el retiro de la Jueza Asociada Sandra Day O'Connor. Alito fue confirmado por el Senado tres meses después, el 31 de enero de 2006. Se espera que Alito se una a las voces del ala conservadora de la Corte Suprema.

Alito es hijo de padres inmigrantes italianos. Se graduó de la Universidad de Princeton en 1972 y luego estudió derecho en la Universidad de Yale, graduándose en 1975. Durante la década de los ochenta, Alito trabajó como abogado para el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, específicamente bajo la administración del Presidente Ronald W. Reagan.

En 1990, el Presidente George H. W. Bush lo nombra Juez del Tercer Circuito de Apelaciones. Como juez apelativo, Alito se destacó por ser un jurista de corte conservador, votando en contra de la legalización del aborto y a favor de los poderes del gobierno. De hecho, debido a sus opiniones judiciales Alito es apodado Scalito, en referencia al Juez Asociado del Tribunal Supremo Antonin Scalia, quien era visto como la voz principal del ala conservadora de la corte.

La nominación del Juez Alito ocurrió luego de que el presidente Bush retirara la nominación de la abogada Harriet Miers. Grupos conservadores de los Estados Unidos apoyaron abrumadoramente la selección de Alito para la Corte Suprema, mientras que los sectores liberales mostraron preocupación de que el juez Alito mueva el balance de la corte demasiado hacia la derecha. De hecho, el senador demócrata John Kerry intentó bloquear la votación final sobre la nominación de Alito, pero no logró reunir la cantidad de votos necesarios para tal acción. Finalmente, el Senado confirmó al Juez Alito con una votación final de 58-42. Wikipedia

“There was the abortion brief and also the brief in the Wygant case. I had a big hand in writing it, and so did Sam Alito, who had this marvelous phrase saying that a particular African American baseball player would not have served as a great role model if the fences had been pulled in every time he was up at bat, a point which some people were greatly offended by because they thought it to be pamphleteering. I thought it was entirely appropriate.”
