Walk out
If there is not going to be a filibuster on Alito, the Dems who do support a filibuster should walk out and leave their Democratic colleagues who oppose the filibuster there to vote on Alito alongside the Republicans. Show their asses right up.

1. That'd be infinitely preferable to just letting it slide. No precedent?

3. If some Dems wanna stand with the Repugs in giving away our rights?
Let them stand with the Repugs. Those that don't can at least give us a powerful sign that there is an opposition party out there that will try to stand up, even if its only a subsect of the Democratic party.

This warrants protest.

4. They damn well need to let the people who make up the party
know that they aren't just going to roll over and let them have thier way as always.

They damn well need to do something.
