He’s not exactly factually correct here. He’s saying the Bush nominees got bipartisan support, but here was an abortive attempt to filibuster the nomination of Justice Alito. The vote on Alito was 58-42 as I recall. So he did get a handful of Democrat votes but the vast majority of Democrats opposed Justice Alito.

Not only that, but I’d bet the only four Dems who supported him did so after it was clear they couldn’t get 50 votes to block him. None of those four Dems are still in the senate.
