If true, that makes 58 Yea. 3 more to be fillibuster-proof.

2 more. Cloture passes with a 3/5th affirmative. It takes 41 votes to defeat the motion.

By my calculation, we have only 54
committed YEAS. Four Republicans
have NOT committed to Alito yet.
Rinos Snowe and Collins of Maine,
Chafee of Rhode Island and Stevens
of Alaska.

What happens if some Senators don't vote and the vote is, say, 59-38? That is over 60%...
