Kerry’s suddenly showing some stone, folks.
It’s a-looking like a filibuster. Call your senators!
I just got off the phone with two very frosty young women at Sen. Isakson’s (R-Treblinka) and Sen. Chambliss’ (R-Hell) offices. Well, my voice was heard, if only for a second or two, and then ignored.
Reading the CNN story, it looks like they have 59 votes to overturn the filibuster. Pray that all the rest of the Democrats fall in line.
A good collection of reasons to not be excited about Kerry’s ill-timed, weak-as* effort to stop Alito:

Kerry possesses about the worst political judgment and timing imaginable for someone who has held elected office for so long. Of course, that’s been abundantly since at least 2004.
