| Description | WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito has been given the American Bar Association's highest rating for professional stature and integrity, an important political legal barometer, as he prepares for confirmation hearings next week.
The unanimous vote of the 15-member committee was delivered Wednesday to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will hold hearings on the 55-year-old federal appeals court judge. One member of the ABA's Standing Committee on Federal Judiciary recused from the vote.
Alito received a similar "well-qualified" rating when he was confirmed in 1990 for the 3rd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals seat he now holds. Chief Justice John Roberts received a similar ABA rating before he was confirmed for the high court in September. |
