Kerry saying he will filibuster just means there will be a cloture vote. But cloture would pass easily. I think the DEMs may maneuver so that Alito will have 60 votes to confirm anyway. That would make a cloture vote (and the risk of nuclear option) moot.
Good news , thanks.
Of course. Normally the cloture vote is not necessary if there is a unanimous consent of the senators to proceed to the vote. If there is no consent then the cloture vote is necessary.
Specter up...saying that the Democrats have NO ONE to debate tomorrow...so, he says if we aren't going to speak...then we should vote...
He says that Reid is on his way to the Senate...
