Just read over on the Drudge Report that John Kerry is going to call for a filibuster of Judge Alito. This is mostly due to serious pressure on the Democrats by thier special interest groups to act, since the DNC failed, and I might add miserably, in the hearings with Alito. They are demanding a filibuster, because they fear, absolutely fear a Supreme Court that doesn't have the type of Judges they require. Ruth Bader Ginsberg for example. Alito would never say, look to foriegn law to decide a case, this bothers these groups. He might, Gasp! Rule against Roe Vs. Wade as bad law. And as we know, 45 Million Abortions in 30 years isn't enough, so they are against the man.

Kerry is not acting on any real principle, he's just trying to curry favor with the rabid base, if he were to somehow cobble the 41 votes needed to bring up a Filibuster, all that would happen is the GOP pushing the nuclear button. If they don't get the 41 votes together, he still wins with the rabid base by showing "strong leadership" in doing what they demand he do.

This is gonna be funny to watch.

Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is still being challenged to this day, but by consensus Global Warming is a fact... that's REAL science at work, why didn't Albert just go that route?
