1. That ain't near enough

If we can't even mount a filibuster, I think every Democrat who refuses to support it or who votes for cloture should be considered fair game.

I am not that crazy about Obama, he gives nice speech's, voted for the bankrupts bill (he does not have the conscience of the black caucus)

8. Well, in that article he just says he doesn't think there's enough support

for a filibuster...same as Harkin, BUT if push came to shove, would they vote no on cloture? My guess is yes. If we only needed 2 votes to filibuster...they would do it. ANYWAY, I just emailed him and lambasted him for not supporting it. I've had with wishy washy politicians. YOU EITHER SUPPORT THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY OR YOU DON'T!:grr: I also tried to call all of his number and there was no voice mail.:(

You think we can email Corzine and have him
pressure Menendez?

7. Last I heard

Menedez hadn't announced whether he was voting for or against Alito.
