WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday announced she'll join potential 2008 presidential rival John Kerry in voting to filibuster against Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, just as top Democratic leaders predicted the effort is likely doomed.
With three Democratic senators pledging support for Alito, the New Jersey conservative seems virtually assured of being confirmed by the full Senate Monday or Tuesday, party leaders predicted Friday. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters in Washington that "everyone knows" Senate Democrats couldn't muster the 40 votes needed to support a last-ditch filibuster.

I don't doubt it.
LOL!
Agreed. This is why they love America so much. Our system gives their radical/destructive ways a chance to survive.
I want to believe the ones on our side are aware of this real threat but sometimes they don't act like it.
I am, aren't I? LOL.
I'm just pondering a lot of things; I'm not very smart about strategy and stuff like that (you know I still do not understand why Eddie Murphy and Dan Akyrod sold oj futures in Trading Places.....LOL) but even I can see that this is going nowhere.
And I just started wondering why...........frankly, I'm not happy about some of the answers I've come up with.
The New York Times, the Deaniacs, the DUmmies, the Daily Kos'ers, the leftist bloggers, and the MoveOn bunch are.
I guess they're taking up George Allen's challenge.
Ywppers...I heard it earlier this evening on the radio...I don't know if it was the Mark Levin show...or Tony Snow..
Of course, since Jimmah Carter has won one...they have lost ALL value anyway.
I'm thinking it has to be a Karl Rove mole. LOL!
We have five grandchildren, five and under; they are my stepgrandchildren, but I couldn't love them anymore.
I'm raising them right; I'm in charge of their "history" lessons.....and they get Lynn Cheney books for Christmas.
These two have already had a tour of the West Wing, dropping jelly beans (it was the week of Reagan's funeral) all the way through it with the Secret Service hurrying behind them!
Me neither, but according to our FRiend onyx, just because I happend to channel surf right by her channel Oxygen, I'm an Oprah "groupie". LOL
We're there, flake.
When people are filibuster when there isn't anything to filibuster, we're there.
In that sense the democrats are no different from the Palestinians. Their hatred for Jews is greater then their love for their own children. In this case these senators' hatred for Bush is greater than their love for their own children.
These senators are ready to fiddle while America burns.
But why? Why this man?
Good Lord, I remember checking that book out many moons ago in first grade.
Yep. All kidding aside, we cannot let these delusional people back in power.
Five, five years old and under...oy!!
But, you guys are building some terrific memories...and those kids will really have something to "brag" about..even though it was a solemn occasion.
BTW..you said that another poster knew what you "had to do"...but, I don't know...care to share???
LOL....I'll bet you $50 it was Bob Shrum! :-)
Thanks, Cindy.
Shrum is close enough to the edge.
It became plainly obvious with me when the leftist kooks wanted to impeach President Bush for following the law.
