According to Think Progress, Harry Reid does not currently believe he has the votes to block a filibuster for Dawn Johnsen:
Roll Call reports that conservatives look poised to successfully block the nomination of Dawn Johnsen to head the White House Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) declared that his hands were tied without the assistance of a few Republican votes:
"Right now we’re finding out when to do that," Reid said, responding to a question about the status of Indiana University law professor Dawn Johnsen’s nomination to the Justice post. "We need a couple Republican votes until we can get to 60."
This will be a short diary because I'm at work. But we can't allow this confirmation to be denied. Johnsen is an excellent nominee and will be a great advocate for the rule of law.
Christy Hardin Smith at Firedoglake has a list of phone numbers to call. Everyone please contact their senators and push for her confirmation. Maine, Pennsylvania and Nebraska callers would be especially helpful.
