Reid is apparently waiting for John "Did you know I served in Vietnam?" Kerry to ride to the rescue with his filibuster. I think Judge Alito and the missus can go ahead and pop the cork on that champagne bottle now! :-)

I'll tell you something red sox fans learned long ago, you never EVER pop the cork until it is over. AAAGH 1986...

I pop the cork when Alito is sitting on the bench.

Kerry had his yak fest yesterday. I'm not sure which DEMs still want to stand up and express an opinion and rationale. They've all made their minds.

I'm not sure what pressure Reid is playing too, or what he plans to offer as resolution. He did indicate that it might be possible to obtain a UC agreement to move to the vote, sometime later today. That is, the agreement would come today, on a vote to occur on Monday.
