    Biden's weakness

    I am not surprised that Joe Biden is undermining the Democrat's position on Judge Alito, as he did on the Gonzalez nomination and as he tried to do on the John Bolton nomination when he went on TV and said Democrats didn't have the votes to block the Bolton's bid for the UN ambassadorship (Democrats did eventually force a recess appointment). Biden has consistently been a source of weakness in the Democratic party by undermining its role as the opposition party. I hope people remember that if runs for president.
