Biography
American lawyer and jurist whose nomination to the Supreme Court by
President George W. Bush was confirmed on January 31, 2006. Alito took the
oath of office that day in Washington, DC at about 12:40 PM EST according
to an Associated Press report in the Washington Post.
Known for his conservative views on social and cultural issues and his
belief in the power of the executive branch of government, Alito was appointed
in 1990 to the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. At the time of his
confirmation hearings for that post, he was seen as a brilliant lawyer, a
prosecutor who had spent his entire law career in government service. Fast
forward to his 2006 confirmation hearings, and the scene in Congress was quite
different. His nomination was contentious with supporters touting his
qualifications and critics threatening to block his confirmation. One
Pepperdine University professor said "He approaches cases with impartiality
and open-mindedness." Detractors expressed fears that his conservative
ideology would preclude a fair approach to issues. He was given the nickname
"Scalito" or "Little Scalia" for the way in which his court opinions and
ideology resemble those of Supreme Court Justice Scalia.
Alito is the elder of two children of middle-class Italian Roman Catholic
parents. His parents were both educators who emphasized learning, hard work,
and faith-based values in their closely-knit family. His high school teachers
and classmates invariably described him with words like hardworking, smart,
analytical, likeable and principled. He played piano and basketball and was a
member of the debating team, all with equal focus. The class valedictorian,
Alito's native intelligence and work ethic brought him to Princeton University
where he graduated in 1972. He subsequently attended Yale Law School where he
worked as an editor of the prestigious Yale Law Journal and earned his law
degree in 1975. With help from his dad who by then had become head of the
state's Office of Legislative Services, the young lawyer landed a job in a
private law firm, but six months later turned to public service with a job as
law clerk to the Honorable Leonard I. Garth on the U.S. Court of Appeals,
Third Circuit. In 1977, he became assistant U.S. attorney for the District of
New Jersey in the appellate division. Four years later in 1981, he was
appointed assistant to the U.S. solicitor general in the U.S. Department of
Justice under the Ronald Reagan administration. In 1985 he was appointed to
the Office of Legal Counsel as deputy assistant attorney general, and he
served as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey from 1987-1990.
A voracious reader and sports fan, he is an ardent baseball and basketball fan.
Alito married Martha-Ann Bomgardner in February 1985 and they have two children,
Philip and Laura. They lived in a middle-class neighborhood of New Jersey until
he donned the robes of a Supreme Court Justice.

What Do You Think?
Data collecting truly is a community effort and we owe an enormous debt of gratitude
to Charley Settles for obtaining Justice Alito's birth data for our study this week.
Judge Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court and his confirmation hearings were
contentious, but he was confirmed by a slight margin and has taken his seat on the
Supreme Court. Let's study his chart for clues to his rise to such an influential
position.
- Where in the chart is the low-key, hard working man who carries the imprint of his
family values: service, faith, family, education, hard work? Is this the chart of a
man who will follow his own ideology with unswerving devotion or might he be able to
analyze a case before the Supreme Court with an open mind? Does this chart describe
traits of fair judgement or bias in his approach?
- What in this chart might have led an astrologer in April 1950 to predict a
stellar future for this child, a rise to one of the most important positions in the
U.S. government?
- Both Mars and Saturn are eye-catching in Alito's natal chart. The moon in Virgo
is just past a conjunction to Saturn, and the pair forms a slightly wide quincunx to
his Sun-Mercury conjunction in Aries. Mars, also in Virgo, forms a quincunx to his
Venus-Jupiter conjunction. Both Mars and Saturn are retrograde. What do these
placements of Mars and Saturn tell us about the man, his life and his career?
