Camera shots of the crowd should be interesting...

I'm loving the apparent rebuke to the slimey effort by Kennedy, Kerry, Feinstein, et al, to filibuster or delay the vote.

Although doubtful, they should be waking up this morning wondering where their influence went.

Conservative federal appeals court judge Samuel Alito

Would Reuters have said "liberal" had it been a lib pres appointing a lib judge?

Alito, who could move the high court to the right.

Or to the center or not at all.

Alito, 55, would replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a moderate conservative

Well, that's a matter of opinion isn't it?

Reuters puts their slant on everything they write. Sometimes subtle and sometimes not so subtle.

Screw Reuters and the whole MSM. The U.S. is well served with Alito on the Supreme Court.

Alito, 55, would replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a moderate conservative who often has been the nine-member court's swing vote on abortion, civil rights and other social issues.

This macro is not on my keyboard. Must need a special J-school keyboard.

[Republican Red]

Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, who lost the 2004 White House election to Bush, helped lead the failed effort to mount a filibuster against Alito.

Kerry has the midas touch in Loserville

It is his destiny to lead failed efforts.

what time is the SOTU anyway and will it be on Fox?

Don't forget the Wicked Witch of NY lost too! She may not be a shoo-in afterall?

Kerry argued that Alito posed a threat to civil rights and abortion rights and would not be an effective check on presidential powers.

Oh I don't know. I don't think he'll let Kerry or Hillary get away with anything.

Oh he'll be an effective check on the President......the next time (if there is one) there's a Dim. holding that office.

Respect My Authority!!!

If Cartman would have called for the filibuster, it would have had a better chance.

[Sender]

The Snowboarder and the Swimmer must be staying up late and copying talking points from DU. I can't believe the drama they are making, even for them.

Poster after poster ironically claims to be either crying their eyes out or puking their guts out over Alito, because they are afraid their children won't be able to have an abortion.

One after another opines that it's so sad "for the children" and that they are hugging their kids close...as if Alito was going to prevent people from having children...and how their kids' future is now so bleak.

"We'll have to get the knitting needles out again" and "Wire coat hangers will be impossible to find" are the first thoughts from these loving mothers. Ironic, isn't it?
