Judge Alito Follow Up Responses on His Testimony

By immigrationprof

Courtesy of Michael Olivas: Here are some followup answers that Judge Alito provided to the Judiciary Committee: http://legalaffairs.org/howappealing/AlitoAnswers012006.pdf

Among other things, Judge Alito discusses Plyer v. Doe and, for the most part, reieterates the law in the area of review of federal and state classifications of immgrants, including Mathews v. Diaz. He quotes plenary power language from Mathews but also quotes from Graham v. Richardson on immigrants as a discrete and insular minority.  Its worth a look.
