Thank you much! I have been looking for tomorrow's schedule but it is not out yet. We will see tomorrow if they submit a motion to invoke cloture.

I am trying to figure out how long he is going to think it is a win for DemocRATs and how does he know for certain that at the last minute a few DemocRATs won't switch? It is so nice of him to say the RATs will declare victory. Really odd way for him to phrase what might happen.

He should have said, "Republicans are going to submit a motion on Tuesday asking for a vote to invoke cloture on Thursday to end the filibuster by Senate Democrats. A cloture vote requires 48 hours notice. Republicans need 60 votes to invoke cloture and shut-off debate, but currently only have 55 sure votes to end debate. As it stands now DemocRATs are expected to defeat this cloture motion by a slim margin. Republicans will not withdraw Miguel Estrada's nomination from consideration and the filibuster will continue with attempts to invoke cloture continuing. The President has vowed to stick with Estrada until he is confirmed to the bench."

To me that gives the viewers the facts of what may happen without the spin! I do not believe Garrett is the conservative he professed to be.

If the Cloture vote will take place Thursday there are four DemocRATs that are going to vote for Mr. Estrada, that alone will make news and possibly force other DemoRATs to reconsider their positions.

This is getting VERY interesting.

And I think you need to be writing the copy for Fox News!
