GOP Senators who voted to put Sotomayor on the bench the last time

Bennett of Utah
Cochran
Collins
Gregg
Hatch
Lugar
Snowe
Specter

Eleven years ago, these Senators voted to put her on the bench; she was originally a Bush appointee.

If any of them flipflop now, then clearly we throw the Hypocrisy flag. Particularly Snowe, who publicly put pressure on Obama to nominate a woman.

PS Those are the GOP Senators still in the Senate who voted for her. Know who else?

Jesse Helms. Noted admirer of liberals, women and Hispanics. The guy who won a Senate election with the "white hands" ad aimed at the black candidate. That Jesse Helms.
