BooMan has a good rant up
about Casey and his enablers. I don't like Casey's views on reproductive rights and many other issues but the Alito nomination was something he could have either stayed silent on or opposed for a variety of reasons which have nothing to do reproductive rights. Alito was a good opportunity for Casey to throw a bone to people like me, to demonstrate that he was willing to actually fight on those more progressive issues that his people keep claiming he cares about.
