To those listed below:
From this point forward, I will do everything in my power to remove you from office, any office, in this country. If anyone from any party runs against you, in primary or general election, they have my vote and my campaign money. In fact, I hereby pledge my personal funds against you all in every election in which you ever face any opposition. I will not buy the 'strategic positioning' argument from you or anyone in the DLC. Politics isn't a game, it's the life and death of real people, of this country; principles and ideals matter, you hypocritical morons, and you have shown that you stand against populism, civil liberties, the seperation of powers and resisting corporate oligopoly. Sure,I'm one person, and in none of your districts, but I'm not the only one who has taken note. You have shown yourselves to be no better than the Republicans, so you should start expecting to be treated like them.

Even if all 44 Democrats were united in opposition, they couldn't block Alito's confirmation; the Republicans could and almost certainly would revoke the filibuster rules. So a vote against the filibuster isn't a vote in favor of Alito, it's a vote saying "I and/or the Democrats have more to lose by looking obstructionist than I/we have to gain by looking unwavering in opposition." A political decision - they may be right or wrong about the effects, but whatever the effects are they won't influence the Alito outcome, just the next election's outcome.
If you want to punish people over Alito, concentrate your wrath on Byrd, Johnson, Nelson, and Conrad, who have said they'll vote to confirm Alito. That's the vote that reveals their policies; that's the one that really counts.
