- Senator Clinton voted against confirming Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. [Vote #2, 1/31/06]
- Senator Clinton on Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court: "This nomination could well be the tipping point against constitutionally-based freedoms and protections we cherish as individuals and as a nation. I fear that Judge Alito will roll back decades of progress and roll over when confronted with an administration too willing to flaunt the rules and looking for a rubber stamp. The stakes could not be higher. To be sure, Roe v. Wade is at risk; the privacy of Americans is at risk; environmental safeguards, laws that protect workers from abuse or negligence, laws even that keep machine guns off the streets; all these and many others are imperiled." [New York Sun, 6/12/07]
- Asked whether she would put someone on the bench who is known to be anti-gay, Senator Clinton responded, "No. It's one of the reasons why I'm against [5th Circuit nominee] Southwick." [HRC/Logo Forum, 8/9/07]
