Biden will vote for filibuster one time to continue the debate, he said on Sunday.
Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., said he, too, would support the filibuster attempt but agreed that it was not particularly wise.
"I think a filibuster make sense when you have a prospect of actually succeeding," Biden said on CNN's "Late Edition." "I will vote one time to say to continue the debate. but the truth of the matter" is that Alito will be confirmed, he said.
He'd like to deprive the President of Judge Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court until after the State of the Union address. We should find out later today if the Biden bid is successful. I suspect not, since it could trigger the nuclear option, and I doubt Biden would take that chance. He won't vote for delay unless he is certain the vote will fall short.
