Filibuster
Senator Kerry, joined by Senator Kennedy, has called for a filibuster of Samuel Alito. It appears that they are taking Steve Almond's advice from "What We Do Now," describing what the Democrats need to do to win: "Step One: Grow some balls."
This is joined by news that Democratic Senators Byrd and Johnson will be supporting Alito. Combined with 55 Republicans, they are at 58 known votes. It will take 60 to break a filibuster. My only concern is that the President will make Democrats out to be "obstructionists" during the State of the Union address. That’s a price worth paying to fight the good fight. Thank you Senators! Daily Kos has the story.
