Up or Down Vote

How loud will the chorus be this time around?
In covering the Senate Judiciary Committee's confirmation hearings regarding Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s Supreme Court nomination, CNN anchor Miles O'Brien commented: "And the Senate, of course, is a dignified place, but there's also talk about a filibuster. So how dignified could that be?" Later, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked: "Will the Supreme Court nominee get the fair vote that the president has been asking for?"


I'm sure Senator McConnell can be expected to make a statement on the "dignity" of teabagging filibustering judicial nominees any day now.
