If nearly all Democratic Senators vote against Alito, Casey will (or certainly should) be pressed to offer proof that he will be a "different kind of Democrat" who won't buckle to the party and its far left base in such things (e.g., 'abortion') like nearly all others have done. Is there any evidence in his own record to suggest that he will not end up behaving precisely the same way? I'm not saying he will switch to actively fighting for a "pro-choice" position, for example, but will he oppose his party in these matters in any effective way?

Some Dems are bashing Casey for this, but it seems like good politics to me. If life hands you a lemon on the Supreme Court, make some lemonade out of it.
