Samuel Alito citations

Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr., né le 1er avril 1950 à Trenton , est un juge américain siégeant à la Cour suprême des États-Unis depuis le 31 janvier 2006. Auparavant, il est en poste à la cour d’appel fédérale pour le troisième circuit, responsable des États de Pennsylvanie, du New Jersey et du Delaware.

Ses interprétations conservatrices du droit le rapprochent d'Antonin Scalia, juge à la Cour suprême des États-Unis jusqu'en février 2016, et lui valent le surnom de « Scalito », le héros des conservateurs. Cependant, selon ses anciens collègues, il n'est pas aussi théoricien ni idéologue que Scalia. Wikipedia

“There was the abortion brief and also the brief in the Wygant case. I had a big hand in writing it, and so did Sam Alito, who had this marvelous phrase saying that a particular African American baseball player would not have served as a great role model if the fences had been pulled in every time he was up at bat, a point which some people were greatly offended by because they thought it to be pamphleteering. I thought it was entirely appropriate.”
