I did not notice the actual text of Alito's dissent, because I did not look to find it. I failed to do due diligence. I have such a knee-jerk reaction to Conservative issues and views that I was burning up and just had to get it out. I was going off of a radio report I heard, that apparently was unclear.

I stand corrected. Thank you. Here is a clear article from ABC News about the issue. Wish I had read it first.

In the interest of making amends, here are some links for my more diligent readers. All five of you.

The text of Rhenquist's dissent in the Supreme Court decision on _Casey_ can be found here. He mentions Alito by name.

The text of the Alito's original dissension in the state case can be found here. Please note that it includes his conclusion that the exceptions did not constitute an "undue burden" as An American notes.

Finally, SCOTUSblog has a brief review of some of Alito's important cases. I find the ones listed here not so objectionable.

Now I am going to go look for real reasons to dislike him. My apologies to An American and anyone else who was/is offended by my passion/lack of diligence.

"These exceptions apply if a woman certifies that she has not notified her husband because she believes [FN4] that (1) he is not the father of the child, (2) he cannot be found after diligent effort, (3) the pregnancy is the result of a spousal sexual assault that has been reported to the authorities, or (4) she has reason to believe that notification is likely to result in the infliction of bodily injury upon her."

? They're among the reasons he concluded that it didn't constitute an "undue burden" by the O'Connor standard.
