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.”
Graham has already said he will pull the trigger if they do this.

CLINTON WILL VOTE YES ON A FILIBUSTER.
Exactly right. Add Kent Conrad to the list that will vote for cloture. The Dems don't have the votes to filibuster. The Kerry/Kennedy theatrics are just that. It is all about appeasing their fringe base.
OMFG I'm shocked!
I'm curious: does this make her one of those partisans she's always condemning?
Well, the New York Times DEMANDED it yesterday.
55 republicans
Landrieu, Pryor, Dorgan, Conrad, Johnson, Byrd, Nelson of Nebraska, Lieberman, Lincoln and a possible few others.
She had said she would not support a filibuster.

she can't afford to let herself get out moonbatted by kerry, her likely doormat in 2008 . . . .
Per NRO....
Pryor: No to Alito, No to Filibuster
[Jonathan Adler 01/27 02:47 PM]
Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor will vote against Alito, but he will not support a filibuster, AP reports
Will he go against McLame if he decides Alito will give the President too much power? McLame is pro choice also, I believe.
I don't trust Graham.
Gee, I wonder if DiFi has to face her Rat primary voters this year?
Huh? The Dems are in a real pickle now. If they aren't careful, the crazies will launch a 3rd party candidate. Maybe Chavez.
He absolutely stated that if they filibuster, he'd pull the trigger.
This is interesting because there is no filibuster yet. Is she believing it will happen?
I thought I heard Lieberman was going to vote against Alito.
LOL OH THAT'S WHY TEDDY KENNEDY IS RUNNING OUT THE DOOR!
I am afraid that Frist will not have the support of enough Republicans, but did see a post that he had already polled on the nuclear option, last week end and had the votes. My guess is that the Democrats are going to use the week end to work on some of the Republicans who might be wishy washy.
Bring it on... Make my day!!
