This claim is also unfounded. The Congressional Record makes clear that a confirmation vote would have likely failed by a vote of 46-49. There wasn't a vote was there? Moreover, Fortas's opponents explained repeatedly that they were not filibustering — they just wanted adequate time to debate and expose serious problems with his nomination. I take it then that if the Democrats were to say they were not filibustering but just wanted adequate time to debate and expose serious problems all would be well with you. jttmab
