Alito continued on Thursday with two more Senate Democrats pledging to back him. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, and Senator Johnson of North Dakota both announced their endorsement of Judge Samuel Alito\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nomination. Johnson has criticized Alito\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s record, but said he did not feel that it was sufficient to justify a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d vote. Both California Senators, Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein have pledged to vote &#8220;no&#8221;. Samuel Alito would need fifty-one \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d votes to be confirmed as the nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 110th Supreme Court Justice. The only viable option left to stop Alito\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s confirmation would be a filibuster by Senate Democrats, although that is unlikely. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sistersong.net\">www.sistersong.net<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loretta Ross, founder of Sistersong, Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective NOTE: Senator John Kerry has just announced a filibuster.
