I missed this yesterday. This wasn't the Dem I expected to object to a filibuster:
Prospects for a filibuster to try to derail Samuel Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court all but died yesterday when a key swing Democrat, Dianne Feinstein, came out against it.
"I do not see a likelihood of a filibuster," the California senator said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "This might be a man I disagree with, but it doesn't mean he shouldn't be on the court."
Feinstein said she would vote against the confirmation, but admitted to being impressed with Alito's "very even demeanor" at last week's hearings.
