from article

...Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, fired back Sunday, saying that if the Democrats staged a filibuster against Judge Alito or Judge Luttig because of their conservatism, "the filibuster will not stand."

Graham's comment is very important...I'm shocked no one on this forum is responding to it.

DeWine’s on Board! Comments (71)October 31, 2005 at 6:31 pm. By Carol --> About Analysis & Predictions, AlitoJust heard Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) — of the Gang of 14 and the Judiciary Committee — on the Hugh Hewitt Show, where he enthusiastically endorsed Alito’s nomination.

Even more significantly, he stated that he would, indeed, invoke the constitutional option should the Democrats try to filibuster Alito. This is quite a scoop — read the entire transcript at Radioblogger.

Given that Lindsay Graham — also of the Gang of 14 and the Judiciary Committee — has pledged that he, too, would vote for the constitutional option, only one more member of the Gang needs to come forward in order to demonstrate conclusively that Democratic efforts to filibuster this nomination would be futile.

Paging Senator McCain

Seriously, somebody sort that opening post out so that I can actually read people's comments.

Ok, I made it more clear that the quote was coming from the article.  You'll have to read the article to fully understand the quote.

Ok, now see if it works
