Bush will keep on nominating people like Roberts until one gets through.

Republicans will NOT stand with democrats if they filibuster. The only hope of creating real discussion about this candidate is letting it go to vote.

If the dems filibuster the story will be entirely about the dems obstructionism, and every republican and many democrats would condemn them for insisting Bush nominate a candidate supported by the minority party.
