CNN.com - Sen. Nelson: Alito won't 'chisel away' existing law
Well, it seems Ben Nelson has met with Alito today and he thinks Alito will not "chisel away" existing law. Might I remind him that Alito is on record against;
1. Roe v. Wade
2. Affirmative Action in Education
3. The Family and Medical Leave Act
Alito is for;
1. Disability Based Discrimination
2. Unauthorized Strip Searches

So why does Sen. Nelson think Alito won't chisel away existing law? I really cannot wrap my head around this kind of behavior on his part. Did he not get the message from Reid's masterful maneuver yesterday? Does he know that Democrats in the Senate are on the offensive now?
We need to let Nelson know that Democrats are going to take a stand against this kind of appeasement.
Contact Ben Nelson and tell him what you think about Alito.
