2. That's a very good question.

He's said in the past that he believes the president should get his appointments, and that's a rule he's said a number of times.

OTOH, Alito's the kind of judge for whom one makes exceptions.

While possible filibuster leaders were counting Sens. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., as supporters of a filibuster, others have stayed quiet, including Judiciary Committee top Democrat Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Charles Schumer of New York.

I've seen it in other articles as well.
He's the Deputy Whip, of course he's in on it.
