"Can anyone provide a brief summary of what's going on? are some of the votes for Alito disappearing? Is there a website I can follow this on other than this thread?"
Ok, will try to summarize for you.
1. The Swimmer says Alito will kill kids with asthma.
2. Kerry claiming that there wasn't enough time for debate.
3. Chaffee voting no.
4. Thre are enough votes to confirm as well as enough votes for cloture.
5. Vitiate means to cancel.
That sums it up. Cloture vote at 4:30 est today. Confirmation vote 11:00 am est tomorrow.
5. Swearing-in at noon tomorrow
Anyone know... will the Cloture vote be at 4:30 SHARP?
In other words, do I have time to run an errand? :-)
In other words I could just read transcripts of Democrat presidential adds for the last 7 elections.
Thanks, it helps to know the status of the cloture vote.
