Chafee to announce vote on Supreme Court nominee Alito today

PROVIDENCE, R.I. U-S Senator Lincoln Chafee is holding a news conference this morning in Providence to announce whether he'll support Samuel Alito for the U-S Supreme Court.
Chafee, a Republican, has said he was concerned about Alito's views on issues such as abortion rights, the separation of church and state and warrantless electronic wiretaps.
Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey, who's challenging Chafee in a primary this year, says he would vote to confirm Alito.

Today is the drama of getting to 60 pro-Alito votes. The Democrats have the "even" hours (10, noon, 2 and 15 minutes at 4:00), so we should know by 3:00 at the latest whether or not there are 60 announced "for" Alito.
Also involved in the drama is whether or not there will be a cloture vote. That's contest within the DEM party, between Reid, and the Kerry/Kennedy "filibuster" wing.
Pretty much anti-climatic at this point. News reports are in the nature of "admitting their cause (filibuster) is hopeless," which is a precursor to skipping the cloture vote altogether.

Pitiful Minority Party
Whose blocking attempts are too tardy
They'll yell and they'll whine
On the Taxpayers' Dime
But they're so over. Let's throw a party!

Got the champagne on ice, but I'm not popping it till the vote tomorrow. I had a similar thought. It's cold outside, and the champagne has been resting out there since Dec 31 - we didn't open it for New Years ;-)

Chaffee hasn't said whether he will vote for or against Alito. It really makes no difference. He WILL vote for cloture. That's what really counts. We have the votes to get Alito confirmed with at least 53 Republicans and 3 Democrats.

Rumor floating around on the dark side - DEMOCRATS ARE TWO VOTES SHY OF A FILIBUSTER. I tend to take this with a grain of salt.
