“As a judge, Hamilton has shown himself to be soft on crime, radically pro-abortion, and hostile towards religion,” wrote a group of prominent conservatives upon Hamilton’s nomination. “With such a liberal activist record unmarked by significant experience, Judge Hamilton is clearly a bad and politically motivated appellate nominee.”
“We applaud the Senate’s vote to confirm the eminently qualified Judge David Hamilton to serve in this critical position,” said Nancy Keenan, president of the pro-abortion NARAL organization.
The ten Republicans who voted against filibustering the nomination are:
Senator Lamar Alexander – Tennessee Senator Saxy Chambliss - Georgia Senator Susan Collins – Maine
Senator John Cornyn - Texas Senator Judd Gregg – New Hampshire Senator Orrin Hatch – Utah
Senator Richard Lugar – Indiana Senator Lisa Murkowski – Alaska Senator Olympia Snowe – Maine
Senator John Thune - South Dakota
