UPDATE 1:08pm CT: Not that we didn't already know this would be coming, but Fox News just reported that Kerry and Kennedy don't have the votes. So basically all they did was just revealed themselves, once again, as pathetic partisans. Nice work boys. Only thing that could make this any better is if you have Howard Dean come make some insane and unpredictable comments.

Yesterday we all had a good laugh at Kerry and Kennedy's desperate filibuster attempt as most other leading Democrats weren't getting on board with them, and people like Robert Byrd were actually supporting Alito. Kerry only made himself look like a bigger loser by trying to pull this, and even Harry Reid didn't want anything to do with a filibuster. What a difference a good nights rest can make, eh Harry? (via Fox News)

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada earlier offered little support for a filibuster, saying there had been enough time to debate the nomination, adding, "no one can complain on this matter that there hasn't been sufficient time to talk about Judge Alito, pro or con."

But he seemed to change his tune on Friday.

Reid, who said Alito was a "bad choice," said he would sustain a filibuster should an opportunity come around.

"We're going to have a vote Tuesday morning," Reid said during a U.S. Conference of Mayors event. "Everyone knows there are not enough votes to support a filibuster, but it's an opportunity to people to express their opinion on what a bad choice it was to replace Sandra Day O'Connor."

So despite opposing the filibuster yesterday, on the grounds that like it or not, there's been enough time for debate. Now you support it, strictly to play politics? It's okay now so that people can "express their opinion", even though you know the filibuster doesn't stand a chance? Thanks for clearing that up Reid, we appreciate all the hard work you do in Washington... No really, we love that the Democrats have accomplished nothing in the past few years, unless you count pouting like babies and being the obstructionist Party of No.

Sadly Harry, you and your buddies still haven't learned that to get your way, you'll need to connect with America and win some elections... otherwise I guess your side is stuck at the plantation.
