	Warner Helped the Rev. Moon (washingtonpost.com)
		John W. Warner's office acknowledged yesterday that the Virginia Republican arranged for religious activists to use a Senate office building last March for a ceremony in which the Rev. Sun Myung Moon declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler and Stalin be "reborn as new persons."

	American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Nomination of Samuel A. Alito, ...
		The challenge for the Senate is to determine the extent to which the civil liberties and civil rights positions advanced by Alito as an advocate, legal advisor, or lower court judge reflect the approach he would take in deciding cases as a Supreme Court justice if confirmed.
		The Senate must fully consider Alito’s legal and judicial philosophy, approach to decision-making, and possible impact on the role of the Court as a protector of civil liberties and civil rights in determining whether he should replace Justice O’Connor.
		Of course, the Senate cannot fulfill its constitutional obligation of advise and consent unless Alito provides clear answers to specific questions on his civil liberties and civil rights record, and the Executive Branch provides all documents that relate to his work on civil liberties issues.
