Yes most likely. Mitch and rand aren’t going to return blue slips for someone whos liberal. Reading up on him he’s friends with walker who he’s replacing, was supporting him early on, votes republican, and is a federalist society member. While being a clerk for one judge can be a good indication of where they stand it’s not always the case for example 11th circuit judge newsome was a clerk for David Souter and he’s as conservative as they come while Kennedy produced several liberal and conservative clerks. The only justices on the court you can say 100% only hire clerks of the same ideology are Sotomayor and Thomas.
