On another thread there was a statement that Gallop had public support for Alito's confirmation at 66%. The red-state Democratic senators up for reelection this fall are just gonna love spending the fall explaining why they are in the party of Windbag Ted and Jenjis John.

Asked if the administration was taking Kerry's call for a filibuster seriously, White House press secretary Scott McClellan chuckled on Friday and said: "I think it was a historic day yesterday. It was the first ever call for a filibuster from the slopes of Davos, Switzerland."

Heh, heh, heh!

I don't suppose that if O'Connor has had second thoughts about retiring that we would know it. But if in fact she has not, and wants off the court, she could up the ante in this situation by revoking the condition "effective on confirmation of my replacement" and simply resigning outright. She could of course do that at any time. But if she did it now, with a nominee whose confirmation is favored by more than 50 Senators awaits a vote . . .

In any event, FNC says Republicans are confident that a filibuster effort could not defeat cloture.
