Alito is a sure confirmation for one simple reason. He has demonstrated he is a good judge. I wish we could say same about Justice Clarence Thomas who somehow does not have the same grasp of judicial principles that the other existing justices have.
Meanwhile, some left wing Senators really made themselves look foolish. Unfortunately, they had not fundamentally valid reasons for opposing the nomination other than current political confrontation.
Do I think Alito will vote to overturn Roe? Yes. Did he deny it? Basically yes. But he demonstrated fundamental qualifications for being a judge. And that is all that matters back when religious extremists were not trying to impose their religion on all others. Alito should be confirmed to the Supreme Court easily.
