Even though Byrd is only supporting Alito because he faces a tough reelection campaign, his vote is a knife through the heart of the Democrats wanting a Filibuster.

Byrd is a bad one but he is being consistent in this case. I heard him say years ago that he thought the Supreme Court should be conservative and the Legislature, liberal.

I don't know what his reasoning is but he did say it.

It gives the other Wacko Dems "cover" when they don't go through with a filibuster attempt.

This whole thing is incredible, considering the former HEAD LAWYER for the ACLU got over 90 votes.

I think he likes the idea that Alito was tied to CAP in his college years, Byrd being a Grand Kleagle and all.
