1. I don't think many have declared yet... |

They'll wait until the hearings are over.
There certainly are ones to worry about though - apparently Feinstein (which shocks me - about the only issue she's dependable on is choice), I'd worry about Landrieu and Nelson for sure.

2. you mean besides zell? |

i honestly think the dems would pretty much hold together if they decided to filibuster.
i just don't think they know if that is the smartest thing to do.
maybe in an up or down vote -- we get a cross over repuke or three.

The key to the gang of seven is Byrd, and I think his concerns regarding presidential authority and abuse thereof will give him pause about this guy. Certainly it's a bigger issue to him than 'saving' the filibuster.
