Yesterday, two former law clerks for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito paid a visit to the state of South Dakota, to rally support of Alito and to stress that he needs to be confirmed.
Hannah and John Smith, now lawyers in Washington, both clerked for Alito in 2001 and 2002.
The two visited Sioux Falls as part of an 18-state tour by 29 of Alito’s former clerks, organized by Progress For America, a Washington-based advocacy group that describes itself as nonpartisan and conservative.
“He’s just a brilliant judge, and very well-qualified to be the next associate justice of the Supreme Court,” said Hannah Smith, who also clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in 2003."
The two were also visiting to stress the importance that Senator Johnson, who may hold a crucial swing vote for Judge Alito's confirmation, vote favorably after the hearings of the Senate Judiciary committee, which begin next Monday.
