Democrat support for Alito likely dooms Kerry filibuster threat

Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito's confirmation seemed all but certain Jan. 26, as two more Democrats announced their support for him, apparently giving Republicans the 60 votes required to overcome a filibuster attempt supported by Sen. John Kerry.

Senators in need of a spine :

Senate Democrats, who presented a united front against the nomination of Alito in the Judiciary Committee, seem unwilling to risk the public criticism that might come with a filibuster.

Send Fax by Email Supporting Filibuster

Senator John Kerry has called for a filibuster of the Alito nomination, heeding your calls to do everything possible to defeat it. He has asked that activists now help convince his colleagues to join him.

Please ask Senator Bill Nelson and other key senators to support the filibuster effort!

Then forward this email to anyone you know who is worried that Alito would likely condone the abuse of power by the president, vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, and help curtail Congress' ability to protect the civil rights, health, safety, and welfare of the American people.

We need to act now to prevent Senate Republican leaders from ramming this nomination through the Senate -- time is of the essence.
