You are right only in the sense that one can never be 100% sure of anything. But you can safely bet that Alito is saying what he needs to say. You can also safely bet that with a majority of justices with Alito's judicial philosophy, even if they all said the same thing about Roe v. Wade at their confirmation hearing, Roe v. Wade would not last long.

But you can safely bet that Alito is saying what he needs to say.

I think he is going to be careful to not fall into any traps. And yesterday, I automatically assumed what you are assuming--that he's lying to the judiciary committee. But I watched his testimony to Specter again and I changed my mind. Maybe that just means he's a good liar. Either way, there is no evidence to show that he's lying. Just a presumption.
