LOL! If Ben votes our way, maybe we can promote him to full Nelson!

We will be left to build another nation on the foundation of what used to be the United States of America.

Well, I hope he's been stockpiling hand tools, seeds, information books, freezedried food, water, medicines, weapons and ammunition like we have.

Hatch is cleaning those Dem clocks. When he's good, Hatch is mighty good. Talking about Alito's remarkable qualifications and references.
I can almost hear the Dem tide going out as he talks.

On the Dem side, in addition to Ben Nelson, I am guessing the following Senators have to vote yes
Robert Byrd
Mary Landrieu

Bayh is running for President, he has to vote no.

Santorum deserves re-election but his seat is in serious trouble from Casey, a pro-life Democrat

Casey, Jr. is NOTHING like is father ... he's a real idiot

But he's in hiding and won't debate Santorum

Santorum would wipe the floor up with him in debates

Santorum screwed the pooch when he supported Specter over Toomey. He knows he's gonna lose in November. He has "Short-Timers" syndrome.

Six of those nine Republicans are sure things to vote for Alito ...

I don't think there is any question that Alito has more than a majority. The interesting question is how many DEMs will cross over, and if they do, how they will time the move, and how they will couch the rationale.

If the "Aye" column reaches 60, there will not be a cloture vote. If the "Aye" column is between 50 and 60, the DEMs are in a pickle. ;-)

Considering where we're at in history. Could this have been the best choice?

Most of us didn't like that decision but Spector appeared very fair and reasonable in conducting Alito's hearings and now making the nomination to the floor.

Spector does know American law when he needs to.

I want them to, I just know that Byrd and Landrieu have to vote yes.

there's a lot of pressure to comply and a Dem would have to have a pretty strong reason to defy requirements and vote our way.
