Never put anything past these dems.

This is the same dem caucus that blocked miguel estrada for 7 months while his wife had a miscarraige.

They blocked good judges like owen and pryor. They still are blocking kavanaugh because he was an aid to starr.

Only dem I trust is Ben Nelson.

Feinstein has already gone back on her no filibuster pledge and now will filibuster.

I wouldn't even be shocked if byrd filibustered. He only stated he would vote for confirmation not to end cloture.

Byrd is the same guy that filibustered owen because of reid and schumer then voted for her after the deal.

Right after the gang of 14 reid got all the dems but ben nelson on record to block kavanaugh.

There are at least 35 no votes, kerry only has to pick up 6 more.

I think Kerry will still fail because dems are saving their ammo for stevens replacement.

"..but is not sure she supports a filibuster.."

Not until the latest polls come in...

[eureka!]

Looks like a little competition for the moonbats with the kept Ketchup Boy...

[MamaLucci]

Bring it on........it is PAST time to go nuclear in the DC cesspool.

[Semper Paratus]

A filibuster now would be an over-the-cliff move.

Right now I put the odds at 25%.

I've been nervous that the vote on Alito has been put off and I'm extremely annoyed that my senator, Sen. Specter, showed no leadership and allowed it to happen. Yes, I believe that most dems want to hold their fire for the next nomination, but now the presidential hopefuls are feeling forced into making this display. The GOP should never have given them the slightest toehold.

"...Democrats have few options when they disagree with an issue or an appointment forwarded by Republicans..."

Mrs. Clinton, here's a phrase for the day - 'majority rule'. Look it up.

[TomGuy]

Reid was just interviewed (tape) on FoxNews a few minutes ago. He said they didn't have the votes to filibuster and had no plans to push for it. He sounded as if things will continue on to the Tuesday vote and Alito will be confirmed.

Hillary is a bit late in staking out a position, it seems. Kerry (and Kennedy) have been yelling for filibuster. Now, Hillary seems to be sidling up to that position.

[bcsco]

The heat from the dimwits must be excruciating. If they filibuster and the Nuclear Option is invoked, they lose big time. If they don't filibuster, yet cast enough 'nay' votes that could have supported a filibuster, the dimwits will crucify them.

Not a pleasant position to be in IMO. But, to quote George C. Scott's Patton: "...yet I do love it so"! He, he.

You are probably right, but it is a stupid move. The Dems better hope neither Buzzy or Stevens don't cash it in before the midterms. The next nominee will most likely be a minority female. There will be hell to pay if the Dems pull that stunt on a Janice Rogers Brown after giving a pass to a couple of white guys.

Actually, filibustering Alito is a lose/lose, while doing the same to the next nominee will be a lose/lose/lose/lose/lose...

IMHO, the Dem presidential wannabes are just posturing to show their base they really wanted to hold up this nomination, but couldn't get the rest of the party to play along.

[ElectricStrawberry]

Oh please. Oh please. Oh please. Oh please. Oh please.

Drag this out a few months closer to the mid-terms. Stoopid Democrats...filibusters are for legislation.

[untenured]

U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton says being in the minority in Washington, Democrats have few options when they disagree with an issue or an appointment forwarded by republiacns, and that is the case with the nomination of Samuel Alito the U.S. Supreme Corut.

There never haveing been Senate minorities, apparently, before it happened to the Democrats.

[gridlock]

[new yorker 77]

These libs are pathetic.

They string their defeated base along to the edge of oblivion.

Rotten is clearly desperate to regain her base after showing in polls that she is making ZERO ground among Independents and Republicans.

She is going backwards.

[ModelBreaker]

Clinton says she is opposed to Alito's nomination, but is not sure she supports a filibuster

To the tune of Rawhide:

Polling, polling, polling
Keep ol' Zogby polling
'Til he tells you what you
Believe

[Huck]

If i were them, I'd definitely filibuster Alito.

[Preachin']

"There are at least 35 no votes, Kerry only has to pick up 6 more."

But some of those NO votes are democrats who have stated already they they won't support a filibuster.

I don't remember their names, but I read about a few of them yesterday.

[SF Republican]

CONSIDERING! - there is an absolutely beautiful and sweet lady in our office I (the only thing I have in common with Jimmy) whom I have lust for and have considered doing many things to. I seriously doubt either Madame Cs considering nor mine will come to fruition.

[Jedidah]

"being in the minority in Washington, Democrats have few options . . ."

They might consider purging the party of its prevailing idiots and moving to a more reasonable position on most issues, thus likely gaining a few seats and a lot more legitimate power.

At some point, reasonable Democrats are going to have to take over. It's not good for the country or even for the Republican party to have a weak and often silly opposition.

[Izzy Dunne]

There are at least 35 no votes, kerry only has to pick up 6 more.

"Follow me, boys! We're going UP that hill !!!"

Yeah, THAT's gonna happen.

[alaskanfan]

We can only hope that the dems will continue to show their a** on this Alito nomination.

America has seen that this man is fully qualified for this seat on the Supreme Court.

The dims just look like idiots when the oppose this nomination. Let them have at it. All they do is expose their agenda.
