Fox News: In 2006, Kerry ‘Spearheadeded’ the ‘Filibuster Movement’ Against Alito

UNKNOWN MALE: “Hi, John. Yeah, they admitted it’s probably a losing battle, but a group of Democratic senators plans to put up a fight over the nomination of Samuel Alito to the High Court. They’ll try to block the vote with a filibuster. Judge Alito met today with North Dakota Democrat Kent Conrad who announced he’s leaning in favor of voting for Alito. If he votes yes he would join three other crossover Democrats, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Ben Nelson of Nebraska. But Conrad also says today he thinks a filibuster would be unsuccessful. Now, Senator John Kerry along with his fellow Massachusetts Democrat Ted Kennedy is spearheading this filibuster movement. He’s urging Democrats to take a stand.”

KERRY: “...fight worth making. Because it’s a fight for the lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court of the United States.”
