Professor Laurence H. Tribe (R) testifies at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito as former Solicitor General of the United States Charles Fried listens on Capitol Hill in Washington, January 13, 2006. Alito completed his testimony before the Committee after more than 18 hours of questions and appears to be headed for Senate confirmation despite a protracted effort by combative Democrats to show he would move the court to the right on abortion and other divisive issues.
