Update: Feinstein comes on board - GOP harasses Stabenow
Sun Jan 29, 2006 18:51
Well I can scratch Diane Feinstein off my list of "suspects" - she has come on board with the fillibuster - probably as tentatively as Biden, though. Also, looks like the GOP is starting to start pressuring dissenters big time - especially Debbie Stabenow of Michigan

Also, Barak Obama is being less than helpful - he claims he does not like Alito - that Alito threatens the American system, and yet bitches about the use of a filibuster - THE ONLY WEAPON THE DEMS HAVE LEFT.

Meanwhile, if you go to google news and try to get the most recent stories on the filibuster, you find that most of what comes up is at least a day old - so the headlines sound discouraging (pre-Biden and Feinstein change). By contrast, for every story on the Democrats' push to block the nomination and WHY - there are about 10 stories about Bush and his support of Alito.
Just a little extra media manipulation, eh?
