...days of the ubiquitous plastic bag are numbered--at least in San Francisco. With residents each year using upwards of 50 million of the flimsy throwaways, which routinely clog sewer drains and kill marine life, city officials last week struck a deal with grocery chains to give shoppers 10 million fewer bags by the end of 2006. And how did the city get grocers to agree to kick in $100,000 for the program? By first proposing a tax of 17?...
...confirmed, Alito would one day have an opportunity to weigh in on other much disputed issues, from affirmative action and campaign-finance reform to gay rights and state's rights. The last one may become an especially sensitive topic during his hearings. Since 1995 the Rehnquist Court has struck down, in whole or in part, more than 30 federal statutes, essentially arguing that Congress had overreached and such legislation should be left to the states.

...undue burden” on the right to get an abortion. Nothing short of a woman’s right to choose is at stake here.Much has been made of the fact that Alito concurred with the 2000 opinion Planned Parenthood v. Farmer, which struck down a partial-birth abortion ban. But he was simply following the precedent of the Supreme Court’s ruling from earlier that year in Stenberg v. Carhart. We disagree that this concurrence demonstrates any sort of moderation in Alito’s views on abortion rights.Many of his other opinions?...
...college, Alito led a conference advocating the legalization of sodomy decades before the landmark 2003 Supreme Court case Lawrence v. Texas finally struck down government intrusions into sexual privacy. In his subsequent judicial career, he has often taken similarly progressive stances. Overturning a district court decision in Saxe v. State College Area School District, Alito boldly defended the students’ first amendment rights in non-school-sponsored speech. In Williams v. Price, he granted a writ of habeas corpus to a black prisoner when a juror made a racist remark after the trial, which emphasized the Sixth Amendment right...
