Alito Filibuster?

Hil's for filibuster
Richard Sisk, NY Daily, January 27, 2006

...Nevertheless, Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) have pushed for a filibuster, a move that delights Republicans.

"If the Democratic left does a filibuster led by Kerry, that's found money for us," a top GOP official said.

The filibuster tactic could have repercussions for Clinton. Her move is bound to be seen as an appeal to the liberal base that dominates the Democratic presidential primaries, following several Senate votes that could be seen as attempts to move to the center...

The upper echelon libs are stepping up to the plate to threaten filibuster. Why would they do so if they cannot generate the votes?

Realizing positive public feelings towards Judge Alito, how do they foresee overall voter reactions?
