Is the "filibuster" underway ??

[kentuck]

Or is the vote on Gonzalez scheduled later today? It looks like a filibuster in the making - until the Repubs decide they have 60 votes - at which time they will vote on the new Atty Generl.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats won't try to filibuster Alberto Gonzales' nomination to be attorney general but will hold extensive debates in the Senate over his role in developing the Bush administration's policies on treating foreign detainees, the Senate's top Democrat said Tuesday.

"There will be an up-or-down vote," Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada told reporters after the Democrats huddled together for their weekly planning session.
