WASHINGTON, D.C.—During confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, at least one Indiana lawmaker voted to strike down the nomination.

Bayh also criticized the conformation process, likening it to a theatre production where nominees say very little to avoid appearing controversial.
