Update [2006-1-30 14:57:39 by BooMan]: Republican Senator John Ensign-(NV) was in a serious car accident this morning. He was taken to the hospital. His injuries are not reported as life threatening. I wish him a full recovery. As for the Alito vote, Frist needs 60 votes. Ensign will not be available to cast one of them.
Here is a new thread. And here are some good reads on the Alito confirmation/filibuster.
