filibustering Alito. He said in order to do so,they need the four conservative democratic
holdouts:

The People's Email Network has a "one click form on this page (that) will send your personal message to both your Senators, with your "No" vote on the the question "Should Sandra Day O'Connor's Replacement be More Right Wing?" At the same time it will send your personal comments only as a letter to the editor of your nearest local daily newspaper, if that option is selected below." Thanks to Pacific Views for the tip.

BuzzFlash has this commentary: "Sam Alito and the End of Constitutional Checks and Balances: The Senate Dems are About to Hang Themselves."
