schumer at the alito hearing

We will ask you: 'Do you still "personally believe very strongly that the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion?'" Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York planned to tell Alito in his opening statement. "We will ask: 'Do you view elevation to the Supreme Court, where you will no longer be bound by high court precedent, as the long-sought opportunity to advance the goals of bringing about the eventual overruling of Roe v. Wade, as you stated in 1985?'"
