That report about Reid not supporting a filibuster is more MSM spin!
Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 09:08 PM by jsamuel
The Nevada Democrat told reporters yesterday, quoting now, "There's been adequate time for people to debate."

Alito has well over 50 votes for confirmation. He gained the support today of Democrats Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Robert Byrd of West Virginia.

Reid has REPEATEDLY said that a Filibuster is NOT OFF THE TABLE

That quote is a selective quote they are using to make it sound one way, while all his quotes put together say, we aren't sure yet.
