ALITO UPDATE [Byron York]
From a Senate source: It now looks like Democrats have decided they cannot sustain even a non-filibuster filibuster over the Alito nomination. Word is, there will soon be an agreement between the parties on how much more time to allot to the debate, after which there will be a vote on confirmation -- no cloture process needed.
