Meuse III, that he was "particularly proud" of his contributions to cases in which the Reagan administration had argued before the Supreme Court that "racial and ethnic quotas should not be allowed and that the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion." At the time of the application, Alito to was an assistant in the Office of the Solicitor General. He got the job.
