So does anyone else think the Dems will now filibuster? Listen to the spin coming out of the Dems? It is EXACTLY the same talking points they used to justify filibustering Estrada. Everyone tells me I am nuts, but I think they will filibuster. Everyone assumes the Senators have the same impression we have of how poorly they did. Considering how insulated they are, how they live in their own little bubble world, I bet all they are hearing is how they have to "get" Alito no matter what. I think they are completely clueless as to how much damage they did to themselves.

You may very well be right on that, which is exactly why we should not even consider changing the current methods.

If you look at my profile, you will see that it was the Bork hearings that was my main catalyst in totally abandoning the Democratic Party. I have received numerous comments from others saying the same thing. I am also certain that many other middle of the road'ers have seen what they have done to Alito and also decided to abandon the Dems.
