and the spineless Republican MAJORITY obliges...

No .. it's in the rules .. the Dems can delay for 1 week

[oceanview]

the rules allow it.

what I am more interested in is what they do with this week. I don't think any more attacks against Alito will give them any traction. what they will go for now, is some kind of under the table attacks against the weak republican votes needed to sustain 50 for the constitutional option. any dirt they have, any private investigator results, they are going to use this week - to present that privately to these senators in exchange for them flipping their votes to break the filibuster.

do they have enough dirt to do it? who knows.

Correct me if I'm wrong. As I understood it, the Dem's already had their week when the hearing was rescheduled. I believe it was to begin right after the new year. At least that was what I thought I heard at the end of the hearings.

Why is it that republicans have to play by the rules???

spineless.
