Unclear if Massachusetts Democrat has votes needed to block nominee Thursday, January 26, 2006; Posted: 4:23 p.m. EST (21:23 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry has decided to support a filibuster to block the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, CNN's Congressional Correspondent Ed Henry reported Thursday. Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, was marshaling support in phone calls during the day, Henry said. He announced his decision Wednesday to a group of Democratic senators, urging they join him, Henry said. Kerry also has the support of his fellow Massachusetts senator, Democrat Edward Kennedy. Some senior Democrats said they are worried that the move could backfire. Republicans need 60 votes to overturn a filibuster. Senior White House officials said the move makes the Democrats look bad, and Republicans already have enough votes to overcome any filibuster attempt. |

The Dems have no balls. We're not going to win back seats this year at this rate. They're letting every opportunity slip through their fingers because they are a bunch of wimps who back down at the first sign of a Republican attack on them.

Sadly, my first reaction to this thread was god, couldn't it please be somebody besides Kerry. He is just such a bad leader and I don't think will inspire your average person to take much notice. It needs someone like Feinstein, a moderate who is on Judiciary Committee and would just say "look, Dems are pro-choice, and this guy's answer on whether Roe is settled law was enough to justify doing anything to stop his nomination". I'm really down on Dems these days. Pelosi has been awful recently and even said at a local town hall meeting that she doesn't support an investigation into the wire-tapping issue. With "leaders" like these..... That said, good for Kerry and I wish him luck. |

Aside from the anti-choice vote that I'm sure Alito will bring to the court, I'm scared to death about him siding with Bush on every matter that comes before the SC, and giving him even more extreme power than he's taken. The Dems should be pushing that point home. I didn't realize Pelosi said that?! Is she nuts! I've become extremely discouraged as well. The Republicans have been hanging themselves for the last several months, and all the Dems can seem to do is cut them free. They're not making any real effort to hold them accountable for anything! They need to grow some big ones.
