I will take your bet right here and now. You list the GOP “YES” votes and then we will see if you are right and the total is 60 or better. If not, as Calvin Coolidge said “YOU LOSE”. Sadly, America will lose as well, but in your contempt for Rand Paul, so don’t seem to mind tossing Baby America out with the Paul bath water.

Actually, no 'contempt' for Dr. Rand Paul exists in my post. I hope he does become KY's Senator to replace Jim Bunning. However, my point was and is, no single Senator (and most certainly not Rand Paul) could persuade the list of squishy moderate GOP Senators to filibuster Kagan. IF it could be done, quite clearly Senators DeMint or Sessions (who each run rings around Paul with regard to conservatism and influence on the GOP) would have made it happen already.

To suggest that Rand Paul could do more is laughable. Besides, since you also revere Jim Bunning, who is still in the Senate and he can't do it either, why do you think Rand can?
