In today's climate Republicans would vote against her, and Democrats would vote against someone as far to the right as she is to the left. But when she was sworn in there was still some adherence to the idea that the president should have fairly wide lattitude in appoint justices.

The 96-3 vote was because the Reps had a strong hand in picking Ginsburg.
