Charles Pickering Vote Thursday

The Senate Judiciary Committee votes Thursday on the nomination of Charles Pickering to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Fierce debate is expected . But, in the end, as this is just the committee, and the Republicans have the majority (it's a 50/50- vote), Pickering will get approved for a full senate vote.

But then the fun begins--Dems are promising a filibuster. Call today and tell your Senator you want one too. Here's the phone list with their individual office numbers. Or call the toll free Congressional switchboard, 1- 800-839-5276.
