ABC News: "If someone would filibuster … I would be prepared to vote to change the rules," said Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio.
Bloomberg: "Picking Alito 'is going to save us from a filibuster,' Senator Mike DeWine, an Ohio Republican, said of the parliamentary tactic that permits unlimited debate."
Cleveland Plain Dealer: "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."
