Posted at 09:56 AM ET, 09/22/2005 Sen. Feinstein votes no. Vote Yes: Specter (R) No: Feinstein (D) Sen. Feinstein cast her vote no, saying she did not like Roberts answers to her questions and those of other senators, and particularly as "the only woman on the committee," remains unvconvinced that he will act as Chief Justice to uphold basic rights of all Americans. The committee has taken a break for a floor vote.

Kyl votes NO!
Wrong.
Oopppss! My Internet C-Span is stuck with Kyl's picture up so I thought it was him voting No! when it is Biden who is speaking. :-( MY BAD!
Says that Roberts is no Souter, Ginsberg or Kennedy.
Darn.
Can Biden PLEASE SHUT UP ALREADY!!!
Seriously. I can't stand listening to this man to more than about 2 minutes before I start to want to tear my own ears out.
Can't they have a floor vote or something? Please?
The dims are not only fighting the Republicans, but they are fighting their media "voices of reason", such as the Chicago Tribune and LA Times (and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), who are all urging the dims to vote to confirm Roberts.
They are really up against it, and it is showing.
Hey Joe! Repeat after me: "Chief Justice John Roberts".
That's gotta really eat at the contemptuous buffoon.
DeWine is a yes too!
Akron Beacon Journal, Dayton Daily News, Cleveland Plain Dealer - DeWine rattling 'em off in support of Roberts.
Kohl is a yes.
Nobody's Senator BUTT yours, Herb Kohl, up now. He will vote his hopes and not his fears and support Roberts.
Cole is a YEA.
Kohl not Cole.
7-3 means he'll get through the committee with a healthy margin, at least 12-6. If that plays out in the full Senate, 67-33 would be projected.
"Plugs" Biden is in love with the sound of his own voice. Always has been
Good projection. Probably closer than mine.
I predicted 59-40-1 some weeks ago. I figured you-know-who couldn't find the Senate.
Sessions is giving 'em a lesson in the Constitution. Give 'em hell Senator.
Feingold up.
Feingold is a YEA
Feingold --yes!
