There may be more. I just did a quick glance. I'm sure some of the above would have to strongly consider not filibustering and indeed voting for Luttig, Garza, Jones, Wilkinson, Alito, Estrada etc. etc., unless they want to start car pooling with Tommy Daschle.

Remember that the following votes took place in the U.S. Senate:

8-3-93 Ruth Bader Ginsburg approved 96-3-1. Voting affirmative:

Chaffee RI(Sr.)
McCain (RINO, NM)
Hatch UT
Jeffords VT (then a Republican)
Lott TN(male cheerleader)
Lugar IN
McConnell KY
Specter PA (Haunting America, Scottish Law, Magic Bullet, etc...)
Warner VA

7-29-94 Stephen Breyer approved 87-9-4. Again, most Republicans supported the Clinton Nominee.

I don't think the dems can keep a good, qualified conservative judge off the bench. This was a fight we wanted to have out in front of the whole nation. We might still get the chance, whether or not Miers goes forward.
