| 6. He's just trying to cover his ass prior to his election fight back home |
|
He knew it was a meaningless vote. He just met with Bush, so he probably already got the go-ahead to vote that way in order to help shore up his re-election. BushCo doesn't want to have to loan out the Black Boxes Voting code too indiscriminately.

I am constantly amazed at the distance between the Real Lieberman and the Fictional Lieberman that so may at DU have created.

| 4. Yes on cloture no on Alito |
|
That makes him a duplicitous weasel trying to have it both ways. Lamont needs funding for his primary challenge.

| 9. Exactly. "Nay' on confirmation was mere posturing. |
|
It made NO DIFFERENCE. A 'Nay' on cloture had the potential of making a far greater difference.

| 11. Why should that be a surprise? |
|
He's usually on our side with social issues. He just loves his big business and illegal wars.

| 12. It's the incongruity of voting no after voting yes. |
|
Only the 'yes' vote counted.

| 15. Oh, I see, frankly, I haven't been paying attention |
|
to any of this Alito business because he was going to get confirmed one way or another and I didn't see much point in even thinking about it. No offense to anyone intended :)
