If any of these people vote “no” on confirmation tomorrow, they are total hypocrites. The rest support the concept of the President being allowed to break the law without review, because Alito does. It’s that simple. Keep in mind that quite a number of high profile Democrats, including Barack Obama, and Dianne Feinstein, were originally going to vote “yes” but instead voted “no” (anti-Alito vote) due to intense grassroots pressure.
