Kerry and the Filibuster

The big day has come and Sen. Kerry is calling the confirmation of Judge Alito to the Supreme Court the vote of a lifetime. Only problem is most of his Democrat colleges feel the battle is over so why add embarrassment to the sting of their defeat.

Senator Barack Obama predicts an effort to filibuster a final vote on Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito will fail.

The Illinois Democrat tells ABC's "This Week" that his party needs to convince the public "their values are at stake," rather than relying on stall tactics to stop the president.

Senators John Kerry and Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts are urging fellow Democrats to support a filibuster, but they don't appear to have enough votes.

Senators Kerry and Kennedy who both represent Massachusetts and both exercise the worst political instincts are liable to find their fellow Democrats offering them a bottle of vodka and a pistol.
