Bigger than Roe

As if Alito's potential (and likely) threat to Roe v Wade weren't enough to make any feminist squirm, his other prior decisions demonstrate that he is a threat to much more than women's right to bear -- or not to bear -- tykes. He has proven to be less than supportive of race and sex discrimination claims on the job (Sheridan v E.I. Dupont De Nemours and Company; Bray v. Marriott Hotels); and apparently isn't so fond of the FMLA (Chittister v Department of Community and Economic Development). See the National Women's Law Center Alito Report for the full sordid details.

I dig the whole *free* music concept and all, but it only works as well as people's ability to access suitable technology. I can't download and listen to music with my current Windows 98, horrific internet connection, badass 1998 Gateway. I'll just have to go all Blanche Dubois and rely on the kindness of strangers to hear said new EP.
