Double Dog Dare ya to not support filibuster of Alito NOW!!!
I have read all the arguments as to why not.

We can't win anyway.

They will just go Nuclear and take away the right to filibuster judicial appointees, and Alito will be confirmed.

And a few more.

I say so the &*^# what.

FILIBUSTER ALITO

2. If they had the guts to pull that trigger....
... we wouldn't be saddled with that compromise now.

The compromise was a giant GOP victory though many people did not see it.

5. amen!
Gore just laid it out - "cooperation" by the Dems in congress has led us to the precipice

Don't know about anyone else, but I believe in those words "I'd rather die fighting"

3. Can you add?
I'll take that dare with one simple response: They don't have the Senators to reach the magic number of 41. Period. End of story.

4. Even if we lost the filibuster, at least they can
say they tried. To do nothing is to disenfranchise the filibuster anyway..
