Upchuck Schumer was threatening a filibuster yesterday if Alito hides behind the "it may come before the court" position. Seems clear the moonbats are itching for a fight, but I think they spent their powder on the lower court nominees.

There's no way the 'Rats can mount a successful filibuster of Alito. Filibuster an Italian-American from New Jersey? Lautencadaver is introducting the guy, and Tina Witless is also backing him. NARAL can't be very happy about that.

I don't think Alito will get as many confirmation votes as Roberts, but the 'Rat attacks on him just won't score any points except with the moonbat wing of the 'Rat Party. That's not enough to stop the nomination.

Go Alito!

"Upchuck Schumer was threatening a filibuster yesterday if Alito hides behind the "it may come before the court" position."

Alito should turn it around on him - what did Chuckie say when Ruth Bader-Meinhof used that same response in HER hearings?
Hmmm?
