The Hill site is wrong.

The ACLU Pat Toomey is Patrick C. Toomey. Picture of him here: https://www.justsecurity.org/author/toomeypatrick/

The Senator is Patrick Joseph Toomey Jr.

Maybe the Hill automates scanning the bylines and adds links to bios. Obviously it isn't perfect.

I know of a family with three generations of people with same First Middle Last name, but since grandfather goes by First, father goes by First Middle and grandson goes by Middle, there's no actual confusion.
