Maybe Republicans Ought To Be Pro-Filibuster
Sending a release with a dateline of "Caracas, Venezuela," anti-Iraq war activist Cindy Sheehan vowed to challenge CA Sen. Dianne Feinstein in '06 if she didn't participate in the Alito filibuster. (Note: Sheehan's flak spelled Sen. Feinstein's first name, "Diane.") More from the release, that notes DiFi is voting No-lito but also No-buster:
I'm appalled that Diane Feinstein wouldn't recognize how dangerous Alito's nomination is to upholding the values of our constitution and restricting the usurpation of presidential powers, for which I've already paid the ultimate price."

She thinks that just because she got 15 minutes of fame she is now an expert on every subject. The media spent way too much time covering her.
I personally think we have enough things happening in this world that all the major stations shouldn't be reporting on the same story all the time.

if her focus is to stop the war, maybe she should keep focused on that instead of branching out.

Huh? Dianne Feinstein is voting NO on cloture:
http://feinstein.senate.gov/06releases/r-alito-closure.htm
Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today announced that she will vote no on cloture regarding the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr. to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
“Based on a very long and thoughtful analysis of the record and transcript, which I tried to indicate in my floor statement yesterday, I’ve decided that I will vote no on cloture.”
