WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry has decided to support a filibuster to block the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, CNN's Congressional Correspondent Ed Henry reported Thursday.

Kerry, in Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, was marshaling support in phone calls during the day, Henry said.

He announced his decision Wednesday to a group of Democratic senators, urging they join him, Henry said. Kerry also has the support of his fellow Massachusetts senator, Democrat Edward Kennedy.

Some senior Democrats said they are worried that the move could backfire.

Republicans need 60 votes to overturn a filibuster.

Senior White House officials said the move makes the Democrats look bad, and Republicans already have enough votes to overcome any filibuster attempt.

He's voting to support a filibuster before voting against a filibuster.

Kerry's superior already said it isn't going to happen. This is just a retarded cheap shot aimed to appeal the DU-type base, for Kerry's delusional hopes for a comeback for the POTUS seat.

KERRY THE BRAVE [Byron York]

From a Senate source: Kerry's call for a filibuster comes after his leadership, that is, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, decided there won't be one. In other words, Kerry was making a brave, Kos-friendly pronouncement in the total confidence that a filibuster will never happen. And now, word is, he is off to Davos to continue what some Republicans are calling a "filibluster."

Posted: 1/26/2006 12:55:52 PM EDT

But only 51 votes are needed to overturn the legality of a fillibuster in confirmation votes, ending this crap for once.

I have crept behind enemy lines and overheard the following:

Just talked to Kerry's office in Boston...
I was told that Reid is on board for the filibuster - but calls need to be made to Landrieau, Salazar, Johnson, and Byrd BY EVERYONE no matter your location.

FEELS GOOD TO HAVE A SPINE AGAIN!

This guy must be smoking something beside tobacco. This guy is in la-la land. Good thing he was elected PotUS, we would be giving the terrorists C4 explosives out of the USA national stockpile.

Now that he's lost the president run he can quit pretending to be in the center and start shouting from the left.

Byrd has already stated he is voting FOR confirmation. If he switches, he will be TOAST in WV as he is up for a record 7th term. VW is pro-life...he knows what side his bread is buttered.

In other news, Kerry also appears to disapprove of <insert action by Bush adminstration here>.

Look Senators, I'll give each of you 50 cases of ketchup if we block this man, AND I'll let you ride on my coat tails during the next election!

Kerry has to. its red meat to the kook element of the party. It will go nowhere but since he has not stopped campaigning for prez he needs to give the wacko commies something to chew on. It is all bluster. They know they have lost this battle.
