THIS JUST IN: DEMS MULL FILIBUSTER
I had a peculiar call just a few minutes ago telling me that Democratic Senate leadership is considering making a stand against the Alito nomination. Buoyed by an editorial in today's New York Times, the go-for-broke strategy is to force the Republicans to use what they would say is the "nuclear" option. That would trigger a torrent of negative press about Republicans' abuse of power.
They think that by linking the lobbying scandal and the NSA surveillance program together with the rules change, they think enough Republicans will cut and run from Alito.
Interesting theory - the most original thinking from that side of the aisle in a long time - albeit wrong.
STAY TUNED...
