Probably too little too late:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. John Kerry will attempt a filibuster to block the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.

“Judge Alito’s confirmation would be an ideological coup on the Supreme Court,” Kerry said in a written statement explaining his support for a filibuster.

“We can’t afford to see the court’s swing vote, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, replaced with a far-right ideologue like Samuel Alito.”

Just got an email from PFAW also. Here’s where you can help:

It might be too little too late but that begs the question, Why did Dems,( Dem activists, and those with so much to lose) let it get this far without pitching a fight. Have you seen this guy’s record? His support for the Unitary Executive alone could neuter Congress. Not to mention ethical issues, poor judgement and questionable memory lapses. This is a life time appointment folks to the SCOTUS. We should behave accordingly. There are times when Dems need to stand on principle.
