Why does it matter? There's been no vote yet on her confirmation.
What they are basically saying here is that they oppose her. If they would have come out and opposed her before even hearing her testimony that would not have seemed fair to Democrat Senators. Now, the NRA have heard her testimony, come out against her and my guess is they are letting it be known that this will be scored on the Senator's precious NRA ratings. Democrat Senators like Conrad, Reid, Specter, Casey, Baucus, Tester etc.. rely on those A NRA ratings to help them get elected.

Good analysis and correct. The dog that didn't bark gives the best clue to those conservative Democrats who need cover. Smart politics on the part of the NRA.

+1 on your post. Offically opposing her BEFORE the confirmation hearings would have been a bad move.
