Naw, it was a last-bitch effort.
What if Kerry had won the 2004 election.
Man, that's a scary thought...
Nothing like listening to Kerry and Kennedy tell us that THEY know what is "mainstream America"
The NY TIMES doesn't mention Kerry at all
but they do blame Kennedy and his choice
of James Flug as the man behind the research
of Alito's past. Kennedy admitted his
honing in on Vanguard case was also over-
done. The Dem aides (remaining anonymous,
of course) also blame Flug for the mis-flak.

"Trying everything in our power to stop an ideological coup on the Supreme Court was the right thing to do," Kerry said.
Kerry knows no shame. He is cut from the same cloth as Teddy boy. They will both go to their graves as blabbering fools and their obstructionist ways will come to naught.
Attempting to remain awake during Kennedy's various sputterings and stammerings, other than to blame Alito (Alioto to "the swimmer") for children dying of Asthma, and the fact that he had to be working on Monday, it must have been very uninspiring even to the Kool Aid crowd.
What Freepers can't tell from this post is how the LAT buried this story way back in the first section. Not a thing was said about Kerry's idiocy on the front page. Only a small article resides in front, about Alito carrying on the Reagan legacy.
If the filibuster had succeeded, you darn well know it would have gotten screaming 3 inch tall headlines in that liberal fishwrap.
Democrats described the attempted filibuster...as a stand on principle.

That's pretty funny. Since when did the Democrats ever have, or even know, anything about principles?
“Mr. President, On countless nominations Democrats have joined Republicans and Republicans have joined Democrats to send a judicial nomination to the floor with a powerful, bipartisan vote. Chief Justice Roberts came to the floor 13-5. Justice Breyer came to the floor unanimously. Justice Ginsburg came to the floor unanimously. Justice Breyer won on the floor 87-9. Justice Ginsburg 97-3, and Chief Justice Roberts 78-22.
“But, in this case, Judge Alito comes to the floor in a straight party line, particularly divided vote. In a divided country, at a time of heightened partisan tensions, at a time of ideology often trumping common sense or broad public interest, the President has chosen to send a Supreme Court nominee who comes directly out of a revolt by the ideological wing of his party in order to satisfy their demand for ideological orthodoxy.

Guess you got miscalled that one John Kerry! Read the LATimes Kerry.... " The Senate voted 72 to 25 to end debate on President Bush's nomination of Alito.---The filibuster effort split the Senate's 44 Democrats, 19 of whom voted to end debate"
*Snicker*
Vote is supposed to start right now.
I checked in on DU later and read the threads. I almost (almost) felt sorry for them - they really think they represent mainstream America and that the filibuster would take place. They were devasatated when they realized they were going to be "betrayed" by their Democrat traitor Senators. They really think the Constitution represents overbearing government.
The funny thing is, I checked in when Kelo vs CT was decided, and they were terribly upset. They couldn't rectify how the liberals all voted to take people's land. They don't really have any idea what socialism is.
They all need a good year in Cuba.
The move must be accelerated, just in case.
.."Trying everything in our power to stop an ideological coup on the Supreme Court was the right thing to do," Kerry said. "We knew we faced steep odds, but we also knew that once Judge Alito becomes Justice Alito, there's no turning back the Senate confirmation vote."
