Lurch and The Cape Cod orca failed 72-25 in trying to filibuster The Honorable soon to be Assoc Justice Alito. Liberals made fools of themselves again. This thing blew up all over them. TS

(do not know who the 3 missing votes were)

New Jersey should be as embarrassed as MA should be. The feeble and the unaware have spoken for them.

------------------------------------------------------------------
From FOx:

Both Democratic senators from New Jersey, Alito's home state, announced Monday they would oppose Alito's nomination. Democrat Frank Lautenberg said he would vote against Alito despite having introduced him to the Senate Judiciary Committee at the opening of the confirmation hearing, and Robert Menendez announced his opposition in his first-ever floor speech as a senator. Menendez was sworn in less than two weeks ago to replace former Sen. Jon Corzine, who was elected governor of the state in November.

One of the Republicans expected to help end the debate and support Alito's confirmation was not able to attend Monday's Senate session. Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., was in a car accident Monday morning on the way to the airport to return to Washington, D.C. Hospitalized for "bumps and bruises," he was to miss the Monday afternoon cloture vote to end debate. Republican Alito supporters said their numbers were sufficient without Ensign's vote.

Komrade Kerry just got a wake up call as to where he stands with his party. This is just another nail in his political coffin, and i'm happy to see it being hammered in.
