Answers:

1) Don Nickles (OK), Robert C. Smith (NH), Jesse Helms (NC).

Several additional senators voted against Breyer because of ethical concerns.

Ginsberg had 3 negative votes, and Breyer 9. At the time, that was the norm — you didn’t attack the president’s nominees for being of the same party as the President.

Of course, Scalia was easily confirmed as well, so it was a two-way street until the entire process was taken over by the political fight over abortion.

For extra credit: Is Fred Thompson running for President at this time? And, did he make a ploy for Hillary's supporters by bragging about his support for Breyer and Ginsburg?
