Lieberman is pro filibuster and so is the hawaii senator on the gang of 14.

They should have had the vote last week when they were all there instead of having to rush everybody back for a monday vote.

What I dont get is do any Dem's think long term. I have never seen an article how stupid this is for the Dems in the long run. Look at it from HIllary Clinton viewpoint or anyone else there that wants to be Prez. It would seem to me that starting a precedent where liberals Senators will fillubuster an Conservative will set up a tradition of Conservatives fillabustering a liberal in the future. I mean if I was Clinton I be all for voting Alito knowing if she got to be Prez and didnt have the Senate under Dem control she could get her people on the court. It just amazes me the short sighted views of the Dems.
