Senate Democrats Up to No Good

There may possibly be further delays brewing beyond the current one-week delay to vote Judge Alito out of committee.

Democrat Senator Patrick Leahy's office says, per the Washington Times, that November's agreement to hold the vote January 17th was not binding because it wasn't in writing.

Confirm Them and Bench Memos wonder if there will be yet another delay beyond January 24th.

Senator John Cornyn, a Republican, says that Democrats pushing back the vote is "a new low in our confirmation process" which is a "breach of trust."
