Supposedly Nelson is voting FOR Alito--I've got to take my daughter to tae kwon do class, so I can't check to see if this is true--but the DUers are sure up at arms over him, calling for mass mailings and calls to his office to have him change his vote!

Check back with y'all later!

Bill Nelson is voting no last I heard. You may be thinking of Ben Nelson.

Bill N. is only doing this because the pubbies have failed to bring a serious challenge in Florida this year. If Jeb were in the race, I guarantee Nelson with be a yes vote.

That woman's voice needs a medical warning.

I see she's listed following the crowd of democrats that votes no.

"this nomination could very well be the tipping point."

Why do I have thoughts of cow-tipping?

I want to know about those votes too. Are they just "projected" votes from what was said?

Am I missing something - how can there be a filibuster when there are already 47 yes votes announced?

we need 60 votes for cloture

"How much trouble is Santorum really in in his race this year?
"

Depends on who's counting the votes and who's conducting the polls.

There is not going to be a filibuster, nor is there going to be any new "damaging gossip" about Alito, as somebody claimed to know this week on this very forum.
