GOP Has Votes for Cloture

Sens. Feinstein (CA), Landrieu (LA), and Salazar (CO) have come out against a filibuster of the Alito confirmation. Although they haven't specified whether or not they will support the judge, they have now essentially ensured that a Democratic filibuster, lead by John Kerry, will be short lived.

Update: Senator Joe Lieberman will vote in favor of a filibuster.
