WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry has decided to support a filibuster to block the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, CNN's Congressional Correspondent Ed Henry reported Thursday. Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, was marshaling support in phone calls during the day, Henry said.

There can be no successful filibuster since seven Democrats have pledged not to support a filibuster except under "extraordinary circustances". That criteria has not been met by any measure. Kerry is well aware that there will be no successful filibuster. The Democrats' near unanimous rejection of the Alito nomination is not about Alito - - it is about the NEXT Bush nomination. The Democrats are simply sending a message that the next nomination MUST be a moderate (liberal). Everything they're saying about Alito is just a bunch of phony bluster - - totally meaningless in and of itself.

And this "call for a filibuster" by Kerry is all about the Democrat primary and the support of MoveOn.org and the rest of that goofy, bitter, far-left ilk (the Democrat "base"). It was meant as a shot across the bow of the Evil Ship Hillary!. The Democrat primary will be a bloodbath. David Schippers once said that Bill Clinton ran the White House "like a Mafia don", and I believe he was being only slightly rhetorical. In my opinion John Kerry better watch his back - - the Clintons will stop at nothing. Nothing.

I didn't think it was possible for me to find breasts unattractive. The picture you posted forces me to reconsider that position.

Them's some ugly ti*****.

Whoa! Although it is hysterical in a bizarre way, if you read too many of the posts there, you feel like your mind is being sucked into a black hole of insanity.

Actually, it's very creepy there.

You will be pleased to learn that the French word for filibuster is "flibustier."

I know I was.

OMG. I go out for a few hours and come home to find Kerry supports a filibuster of Alito? LOL

Kerry's timing is almost as bad as Gore's timing. Almost.

The idiots over at DUmmieland think this is salvation and Kerry is going to stop Alito.

Nothing short of weapons-grade stupidity from the DUmmies, as per usual.

In doing so, Kerry just announced that he's running for President in 2008.

Has Kerry signed his DOD-180 yet?
