6. I never seriously thought they would vote for Alito
They had to play it close to the vest because Alito is a Jersey guy and they have to show him some respect. But in the end they are true blue.

4. Not so Fast
On Jan 6th 2005, Frank blew a lot of pretty smoke then didn't walk the walk.

Up or down on filibuster is the only real choice.

We need to hear the F-word.

15. He knew what we wanted then
He let Senator Boxer stand alone.

And that was with no downside.

5. I'm happy to see Menendez stand up and speak his mind.
I'm sure he's already pissing off a lot of Repukes by his anti-* talk.

Seems to me that with this guy as our newest senator, we might get a lot of good attention now. Yeah!!

7. Woo Hoo!!!!!!
They're making me so proud right now. Now about that filibuster. They MUST support the filibuster or else it's all for nothing. (But I have a feeling they will, they REALLY don't sound like they are too happy about Mr. Alito)

11. Right! Both Lautenberg & Menendez statements are strong against Alito
Of course they have to show him some respect as a Jersey guy. That's all their supposed hesitation has been all about imo - courtesy and respect.

I am SO Proud of our Senators...Lautenberg has done NOTHING but make us proud since he returned to the Senate, and Menendez is off to a FanTAStic Start. :)
