That was the question I had, what was the vote in the Senate when he was up for the Appellate position? If it was 97-3 (I have no reason to doubt what you say) then it will show how partisan the process has become when the Democrats fillibuster this nomination which I'm sure they will. If he gets an up or down vote it won't be anywhere close to 97-3 this time around.

I don't put much value in the actual vote numbers considering that once a decision is made, most people get behind the winner for record purposes, especially in these types of votes...

I'm positive supporters numbered much fewer then 93.
