A Filibuster IS an Up or Down Vote
The Administration and Senate Republicans are aggressively seeking an "up or down vote" on Samuel Alito. What they fail to acknowledge is that a filibuster IS an up or down vote. It's simply an up or down vote that requires 60 votes, instead of a simple 51 majority.
Alito is seeking a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. A position of this importance deserves more than a simply majority support.
Samuel Alito holds extreme views and if confirmed will set the Court back decades.
Don't agonize, organize ... that's my mantra. Change won't happen unless you work to make it happen! But sometimes even your best efforts don't provide the results you were looking for. Or sometimes a situation is just so completely outrageous that all you can do is say ... YIKES!
