This seat, once held by Chief Justice John Roberts, had been left vacant by the refusal of Senate Democrats to vote on nominees put forward by George W. Bush. ACU opposed this nomination and opposed the cloture motion which required 60 votes to pass.
Result: Cloture Motion Rejected, 54-45
Names ordered: By yea/nay Order alphabetically Order by party Order by state
