The Senate Judiciary Committee began holding hearings on the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court today. Check out the library’s Government Resources website for links to the transcripts of the hearings as they are made available. For background information on Alito, go to the library’s Supreme Court Nomination Resources webpage. Here you’ll find a wide variety of resources on Alito and Bush’s previous nominees. Two of the best sources of information are provided by the New York Times (requires free registration) and the Library of Congress, but there are a number of other sources on Alito, the nomination process and past nominees.
