Democrats plan delay vote on Alito confirmation
Democrats in the Senate indicated they will delay the first vote in the Judiciary Committee on Samuel Alito's nomination. Senator Patrick Leahy said unnamed Democrats will exercise their rights to push back the vote, citing Martin Luther King Jr. Day closure and members' travel for events. Republicans, led by Arlen Specter, expect most GOP members to back Alito, while Democrats warn the nomination could shift the court to the right.
