No chunkalicious lovely has soloed yet, that much is true. I, for one, have been calling Senators a lot, including Reid, Chaffee, Snowe and Collins.
I also wrote letters to every Dem member of the judiciary committee.
The theme I used in every contact is: Filibuster and my basic message is "Alito doesn't deserve to be on the supreme court of a country that loves liberty."
I am sure many of you have done the same and more.
But what if it is not enough? I have no doubt that Democratic Senators will be happy to vote no, to oppose him, and except for Ben Nelson, to stand solidly together. Depending on possible local pressure, a few Republicans may vote no as well.
Presuming that the vote is not delayed again (fine by me - gives us more time to convince Democratics voting with the majority of Americans on Roe can't hurt them)
And when the rest of the Senate votes to confirm ?
What then?
Do you believe that the Democrats will filibuster? I think if Reid has everyone in line it is definitely possible.
But what if the Dems live up the the current standards of honor and morality and freedom?
