Democrat Hopes of Alito Filibuster Vanish
PoliPundit points out today that with the commitment of five of the Democratic Senators not to support a filibuster, Alito’s confirmation is now pretty much assured. The five Senators are: Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ben Nelson (D-NE), and Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) and Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD).
I personally don’t trust a politician’s commitment until the actual vote happens, but there’s a good case to be made that Alito will now sails smoothly to confirmation.

UPDATE: Add Robert Byrd to the list, per the Congressional Record 1/26/2006.
UPDATE 1/27/2005: Feinstein changed her position today on the filibuster. (Via Hinderaker)
Bloomberg reports on the flip flop.
California Democrat Dianne Feinstein, who had previously said a filibuster against Alito wouldn’t be justified, today said in a statement she would vote against shutting off debate.
