en Everyone knows there is not enough votes to support a filibuster.

en The first question is (having) enough votes to win defeat. It's also important that the filibuster remain as an option on the table. The filibuster is there for a reason.

en We're going to have a vote Tuesday morning. Everyone knows there are not enough votes to support a filibuster, but it's an opportunity to people to express their opinion on what a bad choice it was to replace Sandra Day O'Connor.

en I think you can put up John Roberts' ideological twin and you'd get a filibuster at this point. Their base is demanding it. I think unless the person has written extensively about Roe [in a positive way], you're going to get a filibuster. And that's unlikely. I just think a filibuster is going to happen.

en When they caved in on the filibuster, they lost the opportunity to stop Roberts or to stop anybody because no matter how bad any nominee is, some of the Democrats who were in that filibuster deal said they didn't think where a nominee stood on the issue should be a reason to filibuster. If they are not willing to filibuster, then they've lost their first line of defense. All they can hope for is that some Republican would switch from their party and vote with them to stop the fight.

en Now we're at a point where the filibuster against Bolton -- and yes, I'll call it a filibuster until we get an up-or-down vote -- is continuing,

en If it was a fight, nobody laid a glove on him. He did a great job. The only way he could be vetoed is through a filibuster, and after his opening statement today I don't think anyone could ever get the political capital to mount a filibuster against this guy.

en It was very strong in terms of Californians contacting us in support of the filibuster.

en I think it is unlikely, absent some new information, some bombshell that comes up in the process, that I would support a filibuster.
