3. BTW, by replaced Alito I mean that he took his old spot on that court

4. After months of blocking vote on his confirmation...

...GOP Senators were so concerned about his judicial activism that they vote unanimously in support of his confirmation.

5. Changed their minds? Are you sure there are 14 total on that court?

Usually its an odd number so there would never be a tie.

7. Lautenberg on this nomination:

Calling the delay "unnecessary and unreasonable," Lautenberg said on the Senate floor shortly before the vote, "Justice has been delayed while those who refused to let this vote take place had another agenda to score political points."
