Though I have managed to overrate them far too many times, it's still hard to believe that the Dems will try a filibuster, and don't realize:

The votes for cloture are solid.

There are probably two dozen of them who just want to get this disaster behind them. (ESPECIALLY before the nation's attention is turned to government for a few hours on SOTU night.)

There are no known conservatives who aren't DROOLING at the prospect of watching them prolong their defeat with a filibuster.

So, at the risk of overrating their intelligence and instinct again, I predict that, at worst, Alito will be hastily confirmed before the cameras are turned on for SOTU. (Ironically, Bush will then briefly THANK the Senate for "it's prompt and just action" on the nomination.)...
