ALITO: In the area of immigration, Congress has spoken clearly. As to factual decisions that are made by an immigration judge, Congress has told us, "You are not to disturb those unless no reasonable fact finder could have reached the conclusion that the immigration judge did." My role is not to substitute my judgment for that of the immigration judge. My job is to say, "Could a reasonable person have reached the conclusion that the immigration judge did?" And if I find that a reasonable person could have reached that conclusion, then it's my job to deny the petition for review.
