5. Roberts would be more comparable, as he was Bush's 1st Justice Pick. That was 22 Dems Voting for.

Edited on Thu Aug-06-09 03:30 PM by FrenchieCat

On July 19, 2005, President Bush nominated Roberts to the U.S. Supreme Court to fill a vacancy that would be left by the resignation of Justice Sandra Day O'Conner. Roberts was the first Supreme Court nominee since Stephen Breyer in 1994.

8. I was just making a point of comparing apples to apples.....

1st pick to 1st pick.....

Since I wasn't sure why you were comparing Sotomayor to Alito to begin with, I'd figure I'd have my say.
