Half of the democrats voted to have the case reviewed. Are those republicans also?

From what I've seen, it's the religious fringe of the republican party that are driving things here. That other members of congress voted for a review is, in my mind, just a "feel good" measure. Their constituents can't really bitch about reviewing a case, and could get pissed if they simply dismissed the issue. So, I think they voted for review for the sake of appearance.
However, it's the religious elements that are pushing for federal law to bypass the courts. Therse religious elements exist in the republican party; in the far right of the republican party. Thus, the "religious right".
