Koh Vote In Next Two Weeks?

That's what members of the Facebook group "We Support Harold Hongju Koh" believe.

Last night, after yesterday's phone bank, we got word from inside sources that Senator Reid believes Harold has enough votes, and has decided to file for cloture on the nomination sometime in the next two weeks. While we do not have an exact date yet, it's an indication that all of your calling is working!

A Think Progress source confirms this time line. Keep in mind, though, that as of two weeks ago, at least one anonymous senator had placed a hold on Koh's nomination, and holds are usually honored as a matter of courtesy in the Senate.

Correction: Republican holds are honored in the Senate. Democratic holds are ignored.

Does TPM want to sic its readership on their senators to see who the, ahem, holdout is?
