CNN's Take on Robert's Confirmability

Don't ask me how I ended up watching CNN for 30 seconds, but John King's explanation as to whether John Roberts was confirmable was telling. He said that it was hard to say because his Senate confirmation for the DC Court of Appeals was not a vote of record. This is because most Democratic Senators would have voted for him and those opposed to him didn't want to look like obstructionists.

King said that in the Judiciary Committee, however, "there was a vote and it was highly contentious and divisive." King is either a liar or an idiot. The Judiciary Committee vote was 16-3 - only the wacko left Senators opposed Roberts.
