Biden would give the "NO on cloture" gang a solid 15 votes and more to surely come. Gang of 14 Democrats will come into play here.

Just wait until Tuesday when it sinks in that moonbat central pulled all the strings they could, but could not stop Alito.

Suicide watch at Daily Kos and the DUmp!

That FLIP-FLOP disease just keeps spreading unchecked throughout the Dem party..

It's all about denying the vote on Judge Alito prior to the SOTU address.

It's semantics. Continued debate is what "no" on cloture nominally stands for. But if continued debate is not necessary for a Senator (or for the Senate) to reach a conclusion, then voting to continue debate is an abuse of cloture.

The technically correct meaning of "filibuster" is the use of any parliamentary practice to delay or stifle completely, reaching conclusion on a matter before the body.

So, Biden is saying that more debate is needed - when in fact, he has already made up his mind, said so, and said why.

He wants it both ways
