WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

Considering what a disaster Kerry has been for the dems, it will be interesting to see if any of them take him up on his idea.

Bah! Too bad Four Dems have annouced that they will vote for Alito. They'll have to get the rest rank and file.

Some of the Red State Dems wont go along with the Filibuster and I doubt Liberman will.

Bring it on, Kerry! According to CNN, the White House says they have 60 FIRM votes for Alito.

This is an outrage! I hope every democrat who stands in support of a filibuster loses their seat in reelection.
No nominee should ever be treated with such disgraceful behavior. Let the rats be warned, they will lose their influence if this continues. They will be like the who?---the whigs.

He doesn't have the votes to prevent cloture - even Senator Byrd has announced he will vote for Alito.

The most delicious part of this is how it roasts MRS. BILL CLINTON.
