Alito vows open mind on abortion at Senate hearing
Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito told senators he would approach abortion with an open mind if confirmed. He defended his 1991 vote in Casey v Planned Parenthood, saying women must notify their husbands, and said no president or court is above the law even in wartime. He emphasized precedent but noted it is not inexorable. He faced questions on wiretaps, his writings, and his college affiliations.
