Democrats are apparently going to attempt a filibuster of Samuel Alito's SCOTUS nomination. It will fail, of course, but they have to go through the motions for their moonbat Left supporters, particularly the Kos kid crowd. Sen. Dianne Feinstein has shamefully reversed her decision not to support a filibuster because Cindy Sheehan is breathing down her neck.

The Democratic party as a whole must understand that this makes them look quite foolish in the eyes of a majority of the public, but then they have to satisfy the hardcore Deaniacs, lest the money supply go dry, by performing a perfunctory protest action destined to go down in flames.

The superb Mary Katherine Ham over at Hugh Hewitt's blog has the quote of the day on the matter:

"I can't imagine that persisting in voting for a filibuster, even as a symbolic vote, could help any of these guys with constituents who don't hang out in the burnt-orange environs of the indigenous Internet moonbat."

Sen. Kent Conrad is one of those she refers to.
