This always happens with Feingold, just when you think he "gets" it he goes and does something like this.
This is what he said to the Madison Paper:
"This has not been an easy decision, but I believe it is the correct one," said Feingold, a Democrat and possible presidential candidate, at a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting.
Added Kohl, also a Democrat, "I will vote my hopes and not my fears."
Feingold said that in both private conversations and the committee hearings, Roberts demonstrated the proper respect for precedent. That's an important barometer for abortion rights supporters such as Feingold, because of the 1973 landmark abortion ruling, Roe v. Wade.
"It will be difficult to overrule Roe or other important precedents while remaining true to his testimony about stability and settled law," Feingold said.
