They have 35 no votes? It's getting awfully close to the magic number.

Yes, but they don't have that many votes against cloture.

There's a difference between voting no on the nomination and no on cloture. Lieberman is voting no for nomination but will not support a filibuster (and thus is voting yes for cloture).
Clear as mud, eh?

Yes is 57 and I don't think it's going higher. But not a real indicator of the filibuster thing. I wonder what kind of mention would be in the SOTU address if Alito's been successfully filibustered, huh?

Who cares...it's time the Republicans stop all this nonsense anyway. I'd like to see the nuke option long before 2006 elections.

The votes on the C-span screen are for confirmation, not cloture.
There are some voting no to Alito but will not support a Sillybuster.
