No, Ben Nelson (NE) voted for Alito, Bill Nelson (FL) voted against him. But both of them voted for cloture.

Forgot to mention:

It wasn't enough for the DUmmies for a DemocRATic Senator to vote against Alito. The Senator had to also vote against cloture, or suffer the wrath of their DUmmie base.
Ben Nelson violated both "rules", in their eyes. But even though Bill Nelson violoated only the cloture "rule", this was enough to send DUmmie Dr.Phool into enough of a snit that he decided that Bill Nelson must be replaced by a "real" DemocRAT, so now he's running.

BTW, DUmmie Dr.Phool has now been identified as Rick Chapman of Holiday, Florida (District 9):
