All of this praise for Byrd is so laughable. He is doing what's best for Robert Byrd, not for the American people. It just happens in this case that supporting Alito accomplishes both. Wait until after he is re-elected and then tell me how great he is. This is simply a man who doesn't want to loose power. The wonderful people of WV deserve better!
Yeah I feel sorry they are represented by Byrd and Rockefeller.
