Yes, Alito made up his mind first time he read Roe v.Wade, as did the other 5, and then all lied at their confirmation hearings and in Senators' offices.

Gentlemen and ladies don’t lie under oath, they prevaricate.

And Thomas would not have called for repealing rights to contraception and gay marriage unless (a) he knows there is some support on the Court for the same despite Alito’s disavowal of such intent , (b) he knows he can shockingly and intentionally appeal as he has here to America’s Trumpist GOP and...

If Pence were to testify, he could nail the Donald for permanently but it would cost him the 2024 nomination.
