More Testimonials for Alito
More testimonials regarding Alito’s ability to distance himself from his personal feelings while doing his job. From The Washington Post:

"The judge kind of took it all in. He never imposed his beliefs as much as there were times when he could have. I didn't understand that then, that a judge shouldn't be discussing feelings.

He'd answer a question with a question, which showed his interest in probing the issues and our thoughts," said former student Joseph Arnold, a Philadelphia attorney who also took the class in 2003.
