We need to demand better. We cannot allow Bolton to become the UN head. Join Barbara Boxer, Harry Reid, and the many other Democrats who are demanding better.

"The Republicans control the Senate 55-44, with one independent, so six Republicans would need to break ranks to defeat the nomination if all Democrats were firmly opposed. But Republicans identified Sens. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Ben Nelson of Nebraska as potential pick-ups for Bolton. All were among a tiny group of Democrats who supported Bolton when his appointment as undersecretary was approved 57-43 in 2001.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has not ruled out a filibuster of Bolton on the floor, which would require 60 votes to overcome. But several Democrats have said it may be politically difficult to filibuster Bolton because of the controversy over using the tactic to block judicial nominees.
