Thumbs up John Kerry will try for Alito filibuster!

Civil rights groups Thursday protest Alito's nomination outside a New Jersey court.
Sen. John Kerry will attempt a filibuster to stop Judge Samuel Alito becoming a Supreme Court justice, Democratic sources told CNN. He has support from Sen. Edward Kennedy but some senior Democrats told CNN they are worried the move could backfire. The filibuster -- a procedural move that extends Senate debate indefinitely -- effectively prevents senators from voting, and Republicans believe they will have enough votes to prevent a filibuster.


GO KERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Default Re: John Kerry will try for Alito filibuster!

If the dems dont rally behind him and they refuse to go along with it, kiss the Dem party goodbye. They'll have proven their weakness, disorganization and spinelessness.

People want them to take a fucking stand, and if they dont, well.. they should be thrown out of office

Oh, big fat fucking shock:

DEMS CAPITULATE AGAIN, NO FILIBUSTER

""Everyone knows there are not enough votes to support a filibuster," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said Friday. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said the same thing on Thursday. "A bipartisan majority will vote to confirm Judge Alito as Justice Alito," Frist said. "
