I have the feeling the dems will fillibuster Alito. Hell, Bacus is still citing to an article that has proven to be satire. They don't let the facts get in the way, they just craft their own reality and run with it.
I am going to disagree on the filibuster as they know that they will lose it if they try.
Alito will have a filibuster proof vote. We knew that Mikulski would vote no. Why is Ben Nelson saying this morning that he will vote yes?
Answer- because he will get in trouble with his constituents if he votes no.
Even Sheets Byrd will vote yes. He has to or he risks his reelection
