From today's Cleveland Plain Dealer (reg req):

DeWine, who will meet with Alito this morning, said President Bush's nominee appears to be "well within the mainstream of conservative judges." [snip]

"From everything I know about him, I can't think that anyone would believe that his nomination constitutes 'extraordinary circumstances' that would lead them to filibuster him," DeWine said.

"This is not that type nomination at all. And if a filibuster was attempted, I would certainly oppose that and if it came to that, vote to change the rules of the Senate to stop that type of filibuster." (emphasis added)
