I believe he will be confirmed.

My understanding he was Confirmed long ago as a child.

Considering that Alito was born in 1950, he would have been of confirmation age (at the time usually between ages 9 and 12)before the start of Vatican II, in which case, he would have received the Sacrament on his knees. The picture you posted is not accurate, unless his confirmation was delayed until he was in his late teens/early twenties. Not to mention, the one doing the Confirmation appears to be a priest, rather the usual bishop.

That being said, I get the humor...but I feel I needed to clarify the inaccuracies of the picture you posted.

That pic looks a bit more like he's getting an imposition of ashes on Ash Wednesday rather than being confirmed.
