Good morning, all.
Join us today for the final victory lap, the vote to "confirm Samuel Alito, of New Jersey, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court."
It's all over except the final vote tally.
Lots of surprises yesterday at the HUGE vote to impose cloture, so perhaps there are still some surprise votes to come?
TOPICS: Breaking News; Politics/Elections

>>Both Maine Senators voted AYE. Kinda shocked, I am...<<
--Collins and Snowe might be Rinos, but today they did right and walked with the Elephants. Kudos to both women of The Great State of Maine.

The far left is beholden to the Marxist philosophy.
What's scary is that if someone who was truly communist came to power, they would be the first ones "reeducated" because they would be a threat to the power.

And it's my great hope that I'll be able to do this once, perhaps twice more, while W. is still in the Oval Office.. Here Here. I like the way you think.

WAHOO!! Congratulations Mr. Justice Alito, President Bush and Freepers one and all!
To: Howlin
58-38 means 4 did not vote or is the headline out of date? Or did 4 Demos show up after to register meaningless votes one they were sure they Confirmation had passed?

It could be worse. You could live in Pelosi's district! (I'm stuck with Tauscher in the East Bay, but she's "Mostly Harmless") It IS worse - I live in Mad Maxine Waters' district! Though I'll settle for a tie.

I'm thrilled for Justice Alito. But I'm going to also say that a 58 vote confirmation shows what a disgrace the Democrats are.

Looks like it. I was just over there at the thread that Catholic Iowan had posted earlier, tried to refresh, and it's not loading. And I'm on a cable modem connection (Suscom)

Wish I had a limerick about her.Off the top of my head ...
There once was a fat pig named Rodham
whose morals were picked up in Sodom
The no vote she cast
will be part of the past
that haunts her when she hits the bottom.
