The abject failure of the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to demonize Samuel Alito and to turn public opinion against him has once again raised the question of a possible filibuster. The "Gang of Fourteen" agreement struck in 2005 by seven "moderate" senators from each party does not allow for the filibustering of a candidate who is as firmly within the American mainstream as Judge Alito; however, as Robert Novak writes, the far-left organizations on which the modern Democrat party depends for funding and support may force them into a "filibuster that they do not want to wage."
