“It’s my understanding that at least seven Democrats have announced they will not be supporting it, meaning at most you’d get 38 votes."

The math is slightly off - - seven Democrats in the "Gang of Fourteen" have promised not to filibuster, plus there are three Democrats who already announced that they will vote for Alito, meaning the most the Democrats would get is 35 votes (including Jeffords).

Senator Jeffords is an inspiring story. He sold his soul for far less that the "whole world", and the very next chance they got, the American people took it away from him.

I just love it when a traitor, I don't think that's too strong a word, gets his.
