Dear Senators:

If you are reading this, please notice that in the comments to Senator Kennedy's diary and in other posted diaries, many constituents have expressed their dismay in being unable to contact their senators this weekend regarding their wishes on a potential filibuster. For this reason, I suggest that a vote on cloture be delayed to such time as all senators are capable of receiving, reviewing and responding to input on this issue from their constitutents.

Raw Story is reporting that Hilary will support the filibuster.

"Philippe Reines, press secretary to Sen. Clinton, confirmed the senator's position in an email message Friday.

"Senator Clinton will vote against cloture, thereby supporting the filibuster of Judge Alito's nomination," Reines said."

Not sure what this will mean to the success of the filibuster, but it is interesting in its possible political meaning/repercussions.

I predict Bush's State of the Union Speech will go something like this:

"On 9-11 . . . Post 9-11 world . . . Terrorists . . . Pre 9-11 world . . . continuing threat . . . 9-11 . . . protect America . . . bin Laden . . . stay the course . . . 9-11 . . . al queda . . . democracy in Iraq . . . 9-11 . . . [repeat ad nauseum] . . ."
