Sean seems to be giving the impression that the Dems ARE filibustering.

Sean seems to be giving the impression that the Dems ARE filibustering.

One can spin the rhetoric that way, I suppose. But the Senators and conventional lexicon has been that a failed cloture motion represents a clear mark that equals "filibuster is here."

If and when the cloture vote is held, today at 4:30, and if the AYEs number less than 60 (they won't), THEN there will be agreement by all - the filibuster will be on.

I say "if" on the cloture vote being held, only to admit the possibility that the DEMs will outright cave, and decide they don't want to have a cloture vote - and they agree to vote on the nominee tomorrow morning, as scheduled.

What did Hannity say to give you that impression?
