Alito fillibuster - some progress

Notwithstanding all the mocking of the Democrats in the press, it looks like the Alito fillibuster effort is moving forward, and slowly gaining some traction among some of the wavering Democrats. I doubt this will prove successful, but at least someone is trying. Firedoglake has some suggestions on action moves we can take.

Just got off the phone with someone highly placed in the filibuster fight: this is doable. It is an uphill battle, no doubt, but that person's words were: the momentum is shifting and has shifted perceptibly since Thursday. Senators are responding to the fact that this is the right thing to do, for the good of the country.

For once, at least a few people are showing some spine.
