Eh. Lil' Lincoln's vote isn't needed to confirm Alito, and he knows it. He'll vote to invoke cloture; that's what's important.

So he'll vote for Alito before he votes againt him.

I'd love to see Chief Justice Roberts swear in Justice Alito after the President entered the House chamber and all were assembled for the SOTU speech with full coverage by the whole world ... :-)

How many 'rats do you think would pass out as Alito donned his robe right there on the spot?

Are you thinking of Voinovich in regards to Bolton at the UN?
Yes I am. Thank you.

What do you expect; they aspire to be Frenchies when they grow up.

Who was the Republican goofball who burst into tears over Paul Volker's ambassadorship to the UN? I forget.

I think that was Voinovich over Bolton's nomination to UN Ambassador.

Not to worry. The DUmmie FUnnies crowd has moles. I'm sure PJ-Comix will have a SUPERB edition of the DUmmie FUnnies for us!
