Senator Feinstein to Vote No on Cloture for the Nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court

Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today announced that she will vote no on cloture regarding the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr. to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

“Based on a very long and thoughtful analysis of the record and transcript, which I tried to indicate in my floor statement yesterday, I’ve decided that I will vote no on cloture.”

I can't help but think that it's a bone being thrown to the barking moonbat wing of the party, i.e., DUers, like a futile "you have spoken and I am listening" move, but Alito will still be confirmed.

[oceanview]

yeah, except that "1" is hardly a comfortable margin. lose 1 vote from your calculation, and cloture fails - then we have to hold 50 for the nuclear option.

[areafiftyone]

I swear FRIST BETTER USE THAT NUCLEAR OPTION. He better not wimp out!

[TheBigB]

Ditto. Reid knew this already, and he's said straight-out that the votes to sustain a filibuster are not there.

There wil be no filbuster. Alito will be confirmed on Tuesday.

[oceanview]

correct.

Frist et al had better wake up this weekend - and start canvassing and asking republican senators to go ON THE RECORD PUBLICLY to say they will vote for the nuclear option. when that total equals 50, that's the only way the left is going to be silenced on this.

[Theresawithanh]

If it does come to that, I certainly hope he does!!!

[Wasanother]

I hope the Rats succeed and show the US what they really are about, objectionist without a plan.

[smonk]

they say salazar is wavering, but colorado is a very red state. I doubt he jumps the fence.

[areafiftyone]

There wil be no filbuster. Alito will be confirmed on Tuesday.

I'm not too sure about that. Alot of the Democrats that are on the fence will be voting yes because of the calls they got today and will get over the weekend. The DUers are threatening them left and right and you know what COWARDS the Democrat Senators are.

[Eva]

Do you have the contact information for Frist, the Republican
gang of fourteen and the known RINOS.

[BenLurkin]

EXTREME:

[areafiftyone]

Yup he's taking a poll now to see how many calls he gets to filibuster. Looks like DUers are calling him like crazy. He just might vote yes.

[ken5050]

Hell freezes over..we have finally found an issue on which both DUmmies and FReepers are in complete, TOTAL, agreement..We ALL want the Senate Dems to filabuster!!!..How weird is that?

[NavVet]

Graham would vote for the constitutional option on Alito, We'd only need one more defector from the gang of 14. Under the circumstances I wouldn't be surprised if we got everyone but McLame.

[TheBigB]

The lefties try to threaten them on every friggin' vote. I'm sure. There will be no filibuster.

[oceanview]

yup. I say again - until 50 republican senators are on the record publicly saying they will vote for the nuclear option, the Dems will find a way to hold 41 for a filibuster.

[Torie]

The dear changed her mind. How sweet.

[OKIEDOC]

So are you saying that the Socialists Rag the New York Slimes is setting the talking points and agendas for 45 Senators from the Dimorat party?

If you are I agree?
