Does Judge Sotomayor have enough votes? I just heard

[Thickasabrick]

Nelson wasn't going to vote for her and Burr was just quoted as not going to vote for her. Burr didn't really surprise me but he likened it to why Obama didn't vote for Roberts. Burr is a dick.

Is there a list somewhere? I hope she has the votes.

1. She'll get all the Dems and about 10 Repukes...

...she's in.

2. She just needs 51 votes. And Burr is a Republican. She's in. n/t

3. yes. she has well over what's needed. I presume you're referring to Nelson of NE

and where did you hear he'll vote against her. you didn't provide a source. Anyway, she already has 5 repuke votes; Collins, Snow, Martinez, Lugar and Graham. She'll get at least 3 more. My bet is that all of the dems plus Bernie and Lieberman will vote for her.

4. Nelson is grandstanding

He's doing a little "to confirm or not to confirm" Hamlet soliloquy for anyone who gives a tin shit about what he says. Sotomayor will be a Supreme Court Justice, and the world will little note nor long remember any pontificating Ben Nelson had to make about the nomination. But it pleases him today to get in front of a reporter and make a show of being undecided.

6. +1

Yup, wanting to let people know that he can still phuck up their legislation if he wants to...it's all about me, me, me.

8. excellent observation. he's doing this crap for the home folk.
