Filibustering Alito

Posted by Eric at 11:27 am. Filed under: Courts / Legal, Samuel A. Alito

KOS is keeping track of the committed and iffy cloture votes. To date, committed to voting no on cloture (supporting fillibuster) are:

Barbara Boxer (D- CA)
Dianne Feinstein (D- CA)
Christopher J. Dodd (D- CT)
Richard J. Durbin (D- IL)
John F. Kerry (D- MA)
Edward M. Kennedy (D- MA)
Paul S. Sarbanes (D- MD)
Debbie A. Stabenow (D- MI)
Harry Reid (D- NV)
Hillary Rodham Clinton (D- NY)
Charles Schumer (D- NY)
Ron Wyden (D- OR)
Russell D. Feingold (D- WI)
Barack Obama (D-IL)
Joe Biden (D-DE)

And liberal “Republican” Lincoln Chafee will be voting against Alito (but presumably not voting no on cloture).

UPDATE: Alexandra at All Things Beautiful has a big roundup of this story. The left wing bloggers are going all out on this issue, including urging readers to make repeat calls to offices which do not take details such as names and addresses.

That is, go through the “Urge Abstention” list twice, at least for those offices that don’t take detailed caller info like names and addresses.

Captain Ed aptly says: “If your cause boils down to tactics such as these, then everyone associated with it should be embarrassed by the connection. Hopefully, an intrepid news crew will wait outside of Walter Reed to see any Democrats inclined to endorse methods such as those urged by this blogger.”
