Senate Judiciary Committee endorses Alito

Getting closer !!
Party line votes though.

Which brings up a question to me. Should the Senate vote because of the person's "Beliefs" or because of the person's "qualifications"?

Abortion is always front and center, but even some well respected, liberal, abortion-rights supporting legal experts agree that Roe-v-Wade was a poor decision.

Does believing that the consitituion (which can't possible cover every thing one thinks it should) doesn't inlcude a right to an abortion automatically disqualify a you from being on the SCOTUS?

I'm torn. Personally (if I were in the Senate) I think would vote against a liberal judge even if they were qualified in other respects. But is that RIGHT?
