Actually, you know, they don't have to filibuster.

[Plaid Adder]

They just have to decide they haven't heard enough to make up their minds...every time a cloture vote comes up.

I mean, they could take the position, "We're not going to vote for cloture until we've heard enough to satisfy us that Alito would be good for the country," and it would still be a filibuster.

1. Is there any limit on how long they could stall on this? What legislation

would the Repubs hold hostage in return?

5. They should have a NO vote on Monday, so that Alito does not get

confirmed before the State of the Union.

Symbolic, I know, but at least it would be a good protest move.
