> Keep our Supreme Court Fair: Call your senators to oppose Judge Alito!
> Dear shielda,
> The moment of truth is here: Judge Samuel Alito Jr.'s nomination to a lifetime
> seat on the Supreme Court is about to be decided. The final vote over whether
> Judge Alito will replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on our nation's highest
> court could come in just one short week, which means most senators are making
> their decision right now.
> Earthjustice is opposing a Supreme Court nominee for the first time since we
> opposed and helped block Robert Bork's nomination in 1987. This decision was
> not made lightly: We believe that Judge Alito could reverse decades of
> progress in protecting public health and the environment if confirmed to the
> court.
> More than 10,000 of you have contacted your senators with your concerns about
> Judge Alito-now we need to keep the momentum going! Please take the next step
> to make your voice heard: call your senators and tell them that you want them
> to do everything possible to defeat Alito's nomination.

> What's At Stake:
> The Supreme Court decides whether to uphold and enforce -- or limit and strike
> down -- the laws that safeguard the air we breathe, the water we drink, and
> the places where we live, work, and enjoy the outdoors.
> On the record:
> 
> Judge Alito has already attempted to block or undermine laws protecting
> ordinary Americans:
> * He read the Constitution to effectively bar average Americans from
> exercising their congressionally granted legal rights to enforce existing
> environmental laws.
> * Judge Alito would undermine laws protecting public health and the
> environment. He has an extremely narrow view of Congress' authority to police
> actions that affect interstate commerce, the basis for many federal
> environmental laws.
> The big picture:
> 
> With a White House bent on ignoring environmental laws and a Congress
> unwilling to fulfill its responsibility to correct such abuses, the courts are
> currently our last line of defense.
> We need a Supreme Court justice who will make fair and responsible decisions
> to uphold and enforce the laws that protect the health and well being of
> Americans, and help to preserve our precious natural resources.
