Alito will sail through the “conformation” proceedure” because the pusillanimous congress, weary of constant browbeating and arm-twisting over the last 5 years will quietly acquiesce-best interests of the American people notwithstanding- because of sheer inertia; years of being know-nothings and do-nothings. Only a major shakeup in congress will change this.
