So, should we keep stirring the pot over at DU so they try and get someone to object to the UC so the cloture vote happens anyway? Could there be a downside for us if that happens?
I don't see any downside to the GOP or a GOP Senator in holding the cloture vote. In fact, it might make a nice counterpoint to the cloture vote of Fortas.
The problem for the DEM leadership is thre will be more DEM votes for cloture than DEM votes for the nominee - cloture will fail worse than the nomination does. Then all of those Senators have to explain to their moonbats, why they didn't filibuster the nomination.
