These Dem senators, all failures as Dems (percentages below) who feel that keeping their jobs are more important than their party beliefs, gave up their right to filibuster and approved Bush's far-right judicial nominees last May, and there's no reason to believe they won't do it again in the case of Bush's Alito: Robert Byrd (West Virginia, 55%),
Daniel Inouye (Hawaii, 55%),
Mary Landrieu (Louisiana, 25%),
Joseph Lieberman (Connecticut, 50%),
Ben Nelson (Nebraska, 20%),
Mark Pryor (Arkansas, 45%),
Ken Salazar (Colorado, 35%).
Dem Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska votes with the Republican majority 80% of the time on crucial votes. In a recent TV interview, he said Alito will be voted a Supreme Court seat and he would vote against a Dem filibuster if one is attempted. (41 votes are needed for a filibuster. There are 44 Dems.)
