I forget the exact lie, but he definitely mislead the Senate when Bush nominated him to be a federal judge around 2004. Still, I would doubt he will be removed.

I agree that he might side with the liberals on certain things. He probably won't be a Souter, but he could be an O'Conner, who was to the left of Kennedy. If that's the case, do we really want to remove him? Trump would then replace him with perhaps Amy Coney Barrett, who is certainly against Roe.
