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?

Batter up! The Dems think the Supreme Court is going to move to the right - wait til they see what W does to the Fed! Bernanke is very pro business and pro growth. So are the new deputies that recently appointed. Poor Dems. Their heads are going to explo-...Wait. What am I thinking like the dems understand fiscal and economic policy!!!

tee-hee.

There are a LOT of DUmmies over there this morning who are still recovering from their hangovers after yesterday's cloture vote. ;-D

They must be in full-blown meltdown mode. I can't even get their page to load!

Kennedy looks like he's aged ten years since yesterday.

I almost want to buy him a drink.

-42 oppose....large enough to filibuster. Not a great statement on Alito.

No wonder they're DUmmies; the Alito filibuster was shot down 72-25 only yesterday.
