Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) speaks to U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito (not pictued) on the second day of Alito's Senate judiciary committee confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill in Washington January 10, 2006. Alito, who voiced opposition to abortion as a Reagan administration lawyer two decades ago, testified on Tuesday the Constitution protects the right to privacy, a key underpinning of the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion.
