"...The question I was answering was a poster wondering which of the gang of 14 had voted to confirm Ginsberg."
I'm almost certain that "Chafee (R-RI), Yea" would be the father of Lincoln Chafee of the gang of seven:
* John S. McCain III, Arizona McCain (R-AZ), Yea
* Lindsey O. Graham, South Carolina Not a Senator yet
* John Warner, Virginia Warner (R-VA), Yea
* Olympia Snowe, Maine Not a Senator yet
* Susan M. Collins, Maine Not a Senator yet
* R. Michael DeWine, Ohio Not a Senator yet
* Lincoln Chafee, Rhode Island Son of "Chafee (R-RI), Yea?"
It's no biggie either way. The GOP has been derelict in advancing the principle of traditional jurisprudence. Instead, it says "the President has the right ...". I call BS on that. Yes, the President can nominate whoever he wants, but it is up to the Senate to limit advise and consent to those nominees who will uphold traditional Constitutional jurisprudence. If they won't, they need to be voted out of power. If the GOP won't stand up for it, it needs to be voted out of power.
