Nebraska's Ben Nelson became the first Democrat to announce his intention to support Bush Supreme court nominee Sam Alito.
"I came to this decision after careful consideration of his impeccable judicial credentials, the American Bar Association's strong recommendation and his pledge that he would not bring a political agenda to the court," Nelson said.
I just wish he had also considered the fact his opinions have been consistent... consistently in the minority and consistently incorrect.
