There's no evidence Alito agreed with its recommendations. But the picture is one of a fair-minded young man and it will be hard for the Left to paint him as a privacy-busting and gay-hating zealot. A lot of us where like this in our youth. More to the point, its the Left that's gotten more extreme with time while Alito has been consistent since across the board.

and of course I still harbor the same thoughts that I did in 1971 as well!!!

Me too. Hmmm, what to watch this morning. Captain Kangaroo or Sesame Street??

Before anyone gets crazy . . .

in 1971 - the FBI / CIA and MI were all rountinely "invading privacy" - these invasions were part of the rational behind the prohibitions on investigations of "US Persons" (later Gorelick's Wall, etc...)

Expressing a desire for more protections against such invasions in no way contradicts with conservative values!!!

Even in my youth I was not a privacy-busting gay-hating zealot. ;-)

How is it we can read this report by Alito but Hillary's graduate thesis is still locked a way in a court ordered vault?

[muir_redwoods]

I don't have a problem with constitutional privacy, the 4th amendment suggests it. Privacy, however, does not imply a right to commit homicide.

Only the idiots who decided Row could draw a link between privacy and homicide.

If you are 20 and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you are 40 and not a conservative, you have no brain.

I voted for McGovern

When I was much younger, I thought pro-life protestors were a bunch of kooks. But now I know the truth because I've actually had many years to think about the issue and learn.

[goresalooza]

This 1971 report of a young Alito doesn't compare to the neoMarxist paper that a younger hitlery klintoon wrote during her college days.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

If you are 20 and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you are 40 and not a conservative, you have no brain.

But....but...I was a Goldwater Republican at the the age of four. I guess I never had a heart and always had a brain.

Bwahahahahaha - Good belly laugh -bump- this AM.

[baystaterebel]

Thats it! Bush has done it again. Dump Alito!

[Cincinna]

Oh no! Am I going to be held accountable for some over the top remarks I may have made or written when I was a FRESHMAN in College and 17 years old.

I certainly hope not.

Please get off Alito's case. Leave the trashing to the Dims; it so much demeans you.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Glad it gave you a chuckle. As a fellow veteran of the Miers-thread wars, you knew I was joking!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Same here.

"How is it we can read this report by Alito but Hillary's graduate thesis is still locked a way in a court ordered vault?"

What an excellent point.

It is hard to believe that nobody has a copy stashed away. Maybe one will turn up for sale on eBay.... now that would be an interesting project.

How would you tell the real from the fake unless you had the actual real copy in hand?
