Was I just imagining that Ann Coulter, David Frum, Charles Krauthammer and a lot of others were conducting a campaign to pressure Bush to withdraw the nomination, including TV advertisements demanding that he withdraw her?

And you can't tell the difference between that and a filibuster? The Dems'll love you.

I don't see a difference between the goals of either- forcing (you can use whatever verb you want and we can agree to disagree) Bush to withdraw the nomination without an up or down vote. The problem is that the same pundits who did it to Miers have been demanding an up or down vote for other nominees and are now going to have to convince people that Alito deserves an up or down vote. It's not my problem, it's theirs. A lot of good conservatives viewed the tactics used as a form of "Borking". Because Alito is now the nominee, I will swallow my bile and support him.
