John Thune will support Judge Samuel Alito; Tim Johnson won't say where he stands:
South Dakota Sen. John Thune said Friday that he plans to vote in support of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito.
"My assessment is, this is someone who is qualified for the bench, and I intend to support him," he told The Associated Press in an interview on Friday.
Thune, a Republican, did not get to see Senate confirmation hearings because he has been on a trip to South America, but has kept up with developments. The senator had a personal meeting with Alito in Washington last November.

The state's other senator, Democrat Tim Johnson, has not yet announced whether he will vote in support of Alito. Johnson also met with Alito last year.
