Monday's papers are reporting about a statement Alito made when seeking a job in the Reagan Administration: According to an article in the Seattle Times,
Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito boasted about his work arguing that "the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion" while trying to get a job in the Reagan administration as a deputy assistant attorney general, according to documents released Monday.
Similar articles can be found in the New York Times.
Remember, this does not answer our paper question for us. It provides data to analyze from the various schools. What would be said by a person in the constitutive school?

The article below is from Monday's NYTimes:
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/14/politics/politicsspecial1/14alito.html
It briefly mentioned Alito's ruling on employer's being able to fire employees who are infected with AIDS. How is that not discrimination?
Alito was quoted saying "We certainly did not want to encourage irrational discrimination, but we had to interpret the law as it stands."
Granted, I do not know the larger context at hand on this issue--but I thought it was pertinent to bring up in relation to our reading for Tuesday. Perhaps we can discuss this further in class.
