70? Wow.

Remember 70 is for the Cloture vote, not the final one on Tuesday.

There are 70 votes to bring it to the floor. I suspect Alito will get few fewer than seventy when all the votes are counted.

He will get in, but it won't be by 70 votes.

How many votes are needed to approve the cloture?
