They've already delayed it. The Alito hearing was supposed to take place last month.

Amen to that. Is Arlen Specter chairman of this committee or not? Do the Republicans have the majority or not? Let's get on with this, already!!

Seriously.

Anyone have a list of those on board for a fillibuster?

I say we flood their offices with emails asking what their reasoning is (other than the fact that the DNC lost BIG in November 04)?

I just hope the Republicans don't get snookered again.

It seems that the Democrats are always working some kind of angle and the Republicans are just naively following along.

Obstructionists? This goes beyond obstruction - the Democrats are very openly demonstrating that they are just plain liars. They promised this would take place, and now are reniging on a promise.

Just showing their true colors.

I am actually glad they are....they are getting enough bad publicity about the hearing, and the way Alito was treated, that I think this will, once again...

play right into the hands of President Bush...it might have been better to have them filibuster...but, this will do.

Also, the timing will be such, that it is possible that it will get more publicity around the SOTU address....and I can just see the faces of the dems when President Bush welcomes Justice and Mrs. Alito...while Mrs. Alito is sitting next to Laura in the balconey...

Delicious!
