Dodd to Support Alito Filibuster

<snip>

Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd plans to support the filibuster effort, spokeswoman Stacie Paxton said Friday.

"He will vote against cloture," said Paxton, using a Senate term for ending a filibuster.

Dodd and the state's other Democratic senator, Sen. Joe Lieberman, have both said they will vote against Alito.

Dodd complained that Alito's judicial philosophy is "outside the mainstream." As the floor debate ensued Friday, the leaders of the filibuster attempt - Massachusetts Sens. Edward Kennedy and John Kerry - were trying to drum up support in their caucus for blocking Alito.
