Line 50:

Some Democrats who praised Alito in 1990 when he was nominated to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals now oppose his nomination to the Supreme Court because they say that 15 years of judicial rulings and opinions have changed their view of him.

[[NARAL Pro-Choice America]], a group favoring women's reproductive rights, said that the nomination of Alito would threaten "fundamental freedoms, including a woman's right to choose." The National [[Pro-Life]] Action Center, a group which opposessupports legalizedbanning abortion, praised the nomination.

Thus far, reaction from conservatives has been more positive than that following Miers' nomination. Senator [[Orrin Hatch]] (R-[[Utah|UT]]) commented that, "President Bush has hit a home run by selecting Sam Alito."
