An Up or Down Vote - Defined

A Filibuster IS an Up or Down Vote

The Administration and Senate Republicans are aggressively seeking an "up or down vote" on Samuel Alito. What they fail to acknowledge is that a filibuster IS an up or down vote. It's simply an up or down vote that requires 60 votes, instead of a simple 51 majority.

Alito is seeking a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. A position of this importance deserves more than a simply majority support.

Samuel Alito holds extreme views and if confirmed will set the Court back decades.
