Filibuster Advocates Prove to be Nothing But Hot Air

@ 07:57 PM (29 months, 17 days ago)

As predicted here all along, the confirmation of Justice Alito to the United States Supreme Court will be finalized tomorrow.  Despite attention getting and vote in the next presidential seeking tactics, the wind is out of the sails of the would be filibusters. The will of the majority of Americans in carrying the day as it should.

Late Monday afternoon, President Bush released a statement expressing pleasure “that a strong, bipartisan majority in the Senate decisively rejected attempts to obstruct and filibuster an up-or-down vote on Judge Sam Alito's nomination.”

Bush's statement was a reference to the bloc of Democrats, led by Massachusetts Sens. Edward Kennedy and John Kerry, that unsuccessfully tried over the weekend and Monday to persuade other senators to use a vote-delaying filibuster to stop Alito, a 15-year veteran of the U.S. Appeals Court and a former lawyer for the Reagan administration.
