What is the current count? |
|
I see little bits and pieces here and there. Does anyone have a summary of:
* Who has committed to voting for confirmation * Who has committed to voting against confirmation * Who has expressed support for a filibuster * Who has expressed opposition for a filibuster (will vote yes for cloture)

2. And what are those numbers? |

Some Dems have vowed to support Alito. Many Democrats have already spoken out in support of cloture. Please, details!

4. looks like the confirmation numbers |
|
the known votes against cloture are much lower, something like 17, but there are also one or two abstentions.

As of 3:20 p.m. EST:
Yes on confirmation: 53 R, 4 D (Johnson, Byrd, Nelson, Conrad) No on confirmation: 1 R (Chaffee), 34 D, 1 I Not voting: 1 R (hospitalized)
Unknown on confirmation:
Cantwell Dorgan Landrieux Rockefeller Bayh Snowe
I don't know what the numbers are on filibuster. I think around 20 voting no on cloture or abstaining (and others have not committed). But I guess we can assume the 4 Dems who are going to vote for monarchy are also going to vote for cloture.

You can't tell the players without a program, and the field is pretty full right now, I can't tell who's coming on the field and who's going off :hi:
