Additionally. the Judiciary Committee heard testimony of some 30 hours and 20 minutes where we had 17 hours and 45 minutes of questioning of Judge Alito and testimony from 33 outside witnesses. It is on the basis of that voluminous record that it is my personal view that Judge Alito ought to be confirmed. He has a background from a father who was an immigrant from Italy. not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. came up the hard way. had the extraordinary academic record at Princeton and the Yale Law School. worked as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. then was U.S. Attorney and worked in the Department of Justice. and for 15 years has been on the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
