DescriptionWASHINGTON -- In college, senior Samuel Alito led a student conference that urged legalization of sodomy and curbs on domestic intelligence -- a sweeping defense of privacy rights he said were under threat by the government and the dawning computer age.

President Bush's choice for the Supreme Court, in a report written years before personal computers made electronic privacy the everyday concern it is now, warned of the potential for abuses by officials and firms collecting data on individuals.

Three decades before the Supreme Court decriminalized homosexual sex, Alito declared on behalf of his group of fellow Princeton students that "no private sexual act between consenting adults should be forbidden." Alito also called for an end to discrimination against homosexuals in hiring.
