I can only hope that Kerry, Kennedy, and their cohorts succeed in their call for a filibuster of Samuel Alito's full Senate fote for confirmation. The Republicans will defeat it in short order... but not before the full American public gets a close view of just how mendacious and obstructive the Democrats are.

Well, yes, it will show the full American public just how bad the Democrats are... after you remind these citizens just what the Supreme Court is and what they do, then explain the confirmation process to them, remind them who Samual Alito is, then explain what a filibuster is...

Now - if the full American public hasn't gotten completely bored and switched over to Amercian Idol yet, now you can explain to them why this is all so important, and how it affects them personally. Still got their attention? Eh, maybe a few Americans are still listening to you, but most of them have gone off to bed, because they have a long day tommorow.

I think you give the public too much credit. The average joe on the street - the majority of the public - doesn't give two craps about this stuff.
