Catholic Group Endorses Alito Nomination

The Christian Communications Network yesterday reported that the Knights of Columbus has endorsed the nomination of Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court, and has called on "members of the United States Senate to vote in a timely manner to confirm" him. The resolution passed unanimously by the organization's Board says that "during his fifteen years as a federal judge (Alito) has articulated a clear and well-reasoned view of the religion clauses of the First Amendment that is protective of religious liberty and which incorporates an appropriately broad view of the Constitution's guarantee of religious free exercise."
