November 16, 2005 -- ALBANY — Republican Senate hopeful Jeanine Pirro refused yesterday to back President Bush's selection of Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court, in part because of Alito's past anti-abortion views. The refusal by Pirro, who backs abortion rights, drew a quick condemnation from state Conservative Party leader Mike Long, whose support Pirro has been aggressively seeking. "I'm assuming Jeanine supported Bush for president and, therefore, she should be out front supporting the president's nominee for the Supreme Court — because we know Hillary Clinton is going to vote 'no,' " Long said. Pirro, the outgoing Westchester district attorney, wants to "wait and see the Senate confirmation hearings" before making up her mind on Alito, said spokeswoman Andrea Tantaros. "She wants to hear the tough questions, and she wants to hear the answers on a wide spectrum of issues," Tantaros said.
