This is going to drive the moonbats even more insane. The Senate Dims should have produced 39 votes or less against. By producing 42 "no" votes, the moonbats will be convinced a filibuster would have worked and they will look to take revenge. Should be interesting to watch Dims eat their own. Run, Cindy, run!

If we thought the Alito nomination was a little rough to watch, I suspect the next one will be twice as worse.

What if Stevens or Bader-Ginsburg retire or die?

The Dems will go all-out to keep a conservative jurist from being appointed to one of those seats.

There will be weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth, foaming at the mouth - and last of all, a definite filibuster.

But, for now, let's enjoy this win.

I have an alternate theory about this. They are saying they have enough Senators to maintain a filibuster, and will go that way if the nominee is not 100% clean. If any dirt can stick at all, they'll filibuster.
