"Can you believe the following senators voted yea? "

Carl Lenin (D) MI
Pat (Leaky) Leahy (D) VT
Jim Jeffords (I) VT
Russ Feingold (D) WI
Herb Khol (D) WI
Patty Murray (D) WA

That is not hard to believe. They knew they would not be able to stop the confirmation of Roberts, so it was easy for them, none of which will run for President, to cast that vote. It will just allow them to claim fairness when all six of them vote against the next nominee.The hardliners in the no camp are either running for President, or so beholden to the hard left that they voted with their base, thus Hillary and Joe Biden's no votes.

Supposedly Russ Feingold is running for President. He wants to make sure his appointees would get through the Senate.
