“The guy voted for Ginsberg and Breyer, for Pete’s sake.”
The Senate then approved Ginsburg’s nomination by a vote of 96 to 3.
Breyer was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 87-9 on July 29, 1994.

Many of the Republican senators who voted to confirm Ginsburg and Breyer said that they would never have appointed them themselves. They just said that Clinton won the election and they were the best choices one could reasonably expect from a Democratic president.

Yes, but McCain bragged about the votes on Larry King just over two years ago:
I voted for Justice Ginsberg and Justice Breyer even though I disagreed with their political philosophy, I mean their judicial philosophy but they were nominated by President Clinton and he said that he was going to nominate liberal people of that philosophy. -- John McCain, Larry King Live, November 3, 2005
He could have joined Jesse Helms on principle and voted against these Clinton appointees ... but who am I kidding? John McCain doesn't do such things. "I'm proud of my friendship with a lot of Democrats," he says in the above interview. And we all know what that means.
Those who believe McCain will now go against his track record and stand against Democrats, particularly on judges, are fooling themselves.
Need I invoke the Gang of 14?
