Vote to occur at 11:30 Eastern Time today. Confirmation is expected.

[the Deejay]

Landrieu (sp?) voted Y....?

Doesn't she still want to punch W in the face?

[RobFromGa]

I'm going with Priscilla Owen or Karen Williams.

I'd like to see Luttig.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Roberts was seen high fiving Judge Souter after the vote!

[Eagle of Liberty]

Feingold up talking now about how we are wearing out military equipment, long deployments, Bush's decisions are disatrous for our country.

Once again, all blame, no solutions.

[Maigrey]

I do, simply because he deems the 2nd amendment in a modern "intpretation", not how it was written.

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm shocked Carl Lenin voted for him. I think he's setting up for a no vote on the 2nd one and then call himself reasonable.

Debbie Stabmenow voted Nyet. That's already. Keith Butler will send her back to East Lansing in 2006.

[Howlin]

Yes, I did! Man, what a mess!

Anybody using HP printers better watch out for that Memory Disk thing!

[AnAmericanMother]

I get Priscilla Owen, too.

(But I really want Janice Rogers Brown!)

Fox News: Roberts Gets More Than 51 Votes in Senate

[rwa265]

I got Judge Edith Hollan Jones. I can live with that. The court would be much better now had GHWB selected her instead of Souter.

[Petronski]

Wait a minute, his middle name is 'Glover?' What the hell?


I want a do-over.

[Bush gal in LA]

Yay!......Hey NARAL and NOW and all you other idiot groups that came out against this great man.............Have a nice day!.............WOO HOO!

[Howlin]

Roberts is IN the Roosevelt Room at the White House watching the vote!!!

[The Shrew]

Inouye

I am dissapointed in this man.

Regards,

TS

[southernindymom]

Bayh voted no, why am I not surprised! He's is so transparent.

[YaYa123]

How subtly dismissive of Kerry to be late. Did everyone understand the symbolism involved here?
Lateness = Disdain

That man is so transparent!

[A Citizen Reporter]

What Memory Disk thing?

[Howlin]

I noticed that; when did they start putting up the vote talleys?

[JLS]

I actually favor her over Owens from what little I know. I really just know a set of good potential nominees and not enough about them to say which of them would be best.

[twigs]

She wants fed money. Not a good time to cross the president.
