Today is going to be a make or break day for this country. Republicans will attempt to force a cloture vote at around 4:30 PM EST to end debate on the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Today, we’ll get to see which Democratic Senators put their money where their mouths are to support Senators Kennedy and Kerry’s filibuster on Judge Alito.

Read John Kerry’s piece today from the Huffington Post. Excerpt of Kerry’s piece below:

No one will be able to say, in five to ten years, that they are surprised by the decisions Judge Alito makes from the bench. They know that in his fifteen years on the Third Circuit, Judge Alito has almost never voted in favor of African-American plaintiffs in employment discrimination cases. They know that he routinely defers to government invasions into personal privacy, often going out of his way to excuse unlawful government actions. And they know that the only statement he has ever made regarding a woman’s right to privacy is that she does not have one.
