From the San Jose Mercury News:
Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a panel member who’s a staunch abortion opponent, said he was “pretty certain” he would vote for Alito. But, he added, “I’m not happy. I would love for him to be there and say, `Look, I don’t think Roe is in the Constitution. And he’s obviously not saying that. He’s leaving the issue open.”
Still, Brownback conceded that any court nominee who opposed Roe outright would be filibustered. “So you’re left like this, if he answers Roe either way, he’s caught.”
Yeah right he’s leaving the issue open. You can be sure that for Brownback to support Alito, he has been told how Alito will vote on abortion. A simple comparison between the Miers nomination and this one should tell you all you need to know.
