Judiciary Vote on Roberts

Got the link from SCOTUS blog.

Yes: Specter (R), Hatch (R), Grassley (R), Kyl (R), DeWine (R), Sessions (R), Leahy (D), Kohl (D), Feingold (D), Graham (R), Cornyn (R), Brownback (R) Coburn (R)

No: (All Democrats) Kennedy, Biden, Feinstein, Schumer, Durbin.

Not really a surprise. Look at the comments. There are some pretty interesting points.

I also wonder if this will set a new manner which republicans will vote with respect to future democratic nominees. This bit of data from a comment:

Rehnquist - nominated by Nixon - approved 68-26
Stevens - Ford - 99-0
O' Conner - Reagan - 99-0
Scalia - Reagan - 98-0
Kennedy - Reagan - 97-0
Souter - Bush - 90-9
Thomas - Bush - 52-48
Ginsburg - Clinton - 96-3
Breyer - Clinton - 87-9

Funny looking votes though. And I'm not saying that it's because democrats nominate more reasonable judges either.
