Justice Alito UPDATED
I wish the image was correct ... but it's not.

It looks like the move to filibuster has failed. The usual conservative Democrats are the ones who let the party down. Many on the left are pissed and threatening all kinds of retribution. I don't plan anything other than to remember. Those who voted against the party and who face re-election will see my money go to opponents (are you listening Joementum?). Just so you know, here's Joementum's primary opponent website. Send him some love.

BTW. Princess Di Feinstein voted against cloture (in support of the filibuster). Good job Di!

Added: For the record, here are the DINO targets:
Daniel Akaka, Max Baucus, Jeff Bingaman, Robert Byrd, Maria Cantwell, Tom Carper, Kent Conrad, Byron Dorgan, Daniel Inouye, Tim Johnson, Herb Kohl, Mary Landrieu, Joe Lieberman, Blanche Lincoln, Ben Nelson, Bill Nelson, Mark Pryor, Jay Rockefeller and Ken Salazar.
And here are the hero's that took a stand against the odds (and should be properly rewarded). We've been asking for them to fight regardless of the calculations. And they did what we asked:

Bayh, Evan (D-IN)
Biden, Joseph R., Jr. (D-DE)
Boxer, Barbara (D-CA)
Clinton, Hillary Rodham (D-NY)
Dayton, Mark (D-MN)
Dodd, Christopher J. (D-CT)
Durbin, Richard (D-IL)
Feingold, Russell D. (D-WI)
Feinstein, Dianne (D-CA)
Jeffords, James M. (I-VT)
Kennedy, Edward M. (D-MA)
Kerry, John F. (D-MA)
Lautenberg, Frank R. (D-NJ)
Leahy, Patrick J. (D-VT)
Levin, Carl (D-MI)
Menendez, Robert (D-NJ)
Mikulski, Barbara A. (D-MD)
Murray, Patty (D-WA)
Obama, Barack (D-IL)
Reed, Jack (D-RI)
Reid, Harry (D-NV)
Sarbanes, Paul S. (D-MD)
Schumer, Charles E. (D-NY)
Stabenow, Debbie (D-MI)
Wyden, Ron (D-OR)

I'm keeping track of this, just like I am keeping the bankruptcy vote list.
They don't support me, I don't support them. That simple.

What is also worthy of note.

All the RINOs (pro choice republicans) also voted to end debate. This raises legit questions about the proported moderate stance
