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

It's not a filibuster .. in the rules the Dems can delay the vote for one week

They are trying to delay this appointment to the court because there are a couple big cases coming up

Proving that Judge Alito will be addressed as Justice Alito very soon !

I was just going to ask that question. Alito's confirmation is a foregone conclusion -- ergo the only reason the Dems are stalling is because there must be a case (or cases) they want Sandy O to rule on. Anyone have any insight as to which cases are pushing the Dems to do this?
