Sen. Nelson and Graham won't dare support 'filibuster'...not with our conservative Cuban-American population and their Presidential aspirations, but I doubt they'll vote WITH us. We need to phrase our questions differently. "Will you vote yes and be one of the 60 Senate votes Miguel needs to be allowed a confirmation vote on the floor of the Senate?" or something.

From Mark Russel:

Estrada is an immigrant from Honduras and the Democrats go crazy when they find a Latino who is not one of theirs. They have asked immigration authorities to be on the alert for more conservative Republicans trying to sneak over the border.

Or another question we could ask is "What is Senator Nelson doing to ensure that Estrada gets an up or down vote? Then the staffer will say blah blah blah. Then say "Does Senator Nelson think after 600 days of vetting that Estrada deserves an up or down vote?"

You are right! We have the votes to confirm -- what we need now are votes to invoke cloture! Nelson and Graham I believe can be counted on to allow a vote even when they vote against him.
