However, when it comes to abortion, Casey's voting record on judicial nominees will likely be one similar to liberal Democrats for two reasons. First off, as I mentioned earlier, he's loyal to the party, and if the party decides that it is in the party's best nterest to filibuster or vote against a nominee, then Casey will. Secondly, Casey won't have to look very hard to find another reason to vote against some of these nominees (and bills with anti-abortion restrictions as well). Remember, Bush's cadre of judges isn't just far right on the abortion issue, they're far right on labor, environmental and economic issues as well. A vote against is a vote against, even if it isn't based upon the abortion issue. A spinoff of the abortion issue is stem cells, and on that issue, Casey's position is about as clear as mud.
If true, no wonder Hillie's supporting him.
