Chafee (R) to vote against Alito

WASHINGTON ? U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee says he will vote against Judge Samuel Alito for the U.S. Supreme Court.

He's the first Republican to say he'll reject President Bush's nominee.

Chafee said he'll vote against a filibuster on the nomination. Republicans say they have enough votes for the nominee without Chafee.

"How are we going to get anything done if we can't work together?" Chafee asked.

Chafee said recent information about warrantless wiretaps concerns him, and he thinks Alito might be willing to give too much power to the president. He's also concern about Alito's stance on abortion and environmental issues.
