This doesn't surprise me. Boxer wouldn't do this unless her fellow Democrats agreed.

The Democrats have been pure partisan bulldogs since 1992. If they can delay the confirmation of the vote with a filibuster or a quorum call, they will certainly do it, and then the media can talk about Republican cheating and partisanship for the next four years.

I don't see how a filibuster would do the Democrats any good. My understanding is that the votes certified by the proper state authority stand unless both houses vote to the contrary.
