This morning, 5 environmental groups plan to announce their intention to work for the defeat of Judge Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court. This is the first opposition by these groups to a nominee since the Bork nomination back in 1987.
Earthjustice is the only one to have currently posted its press release on the impending announcement. You can access it here:

As additional announcements become available, please post them below in comments. Although a lot of issues are live today, this seems to be one worthy of attention. The Administration has requested that the vote on Alito be held by January 20, one month from now.
