I would say the democrats are concerned -- some of the judges testifying were Clinton appointees and their testimonies pretty much rendered their (the Dems) four day circus moot!

CNN.com - Democrats frown on judges' - Jan 12, 2006

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As the fourth day of sometimes-contentious hearings for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito came to a close Thursday, Democrats expressed concern over an unusual move in which seven of Alito's fellow judges on a U.S. appeals court testified on his behalf. Democrats challenged the move as a violation of the judicial code of conduct -- an allegation GOP senators refuted -- and that it presents a conflict of interest because the judges' cases could come before Alito on appeal if he's appointed to the high court.
