Let's do Kerry MATH.

55 GOP Senators. All will vote for Cloture. Not all may vote for Alito.

3 Dems will vote for Alito. Johnson, Byrd and Nelson.

2 Dems say they will vote NO on a Confirmation, YES on Cloture. Landreiu and Slazar.

THAT'S 60 VOTES.

NEXT!!!

Feinstein will probably vote for cloture as well.

[Pimpmygop]

Difi said she was against a filibuster too..

"3 Dems will vote for Alito. Johnson, Byrd and Nelson. 2 Dems say they will vote NO on a Confirmation, YES on Cloture. Landreiu and Slazar. THAT'S 60 VOTES."

So what does the "independent" Jeffords get for supporting a Rat filibuster?

Shame that 5 Democrats are more willing to break a filibuster than 1 "Independent."
