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?
hmm, you are getting that too. any answers?
You are a liar Arlen Specter!
No ouija boards, no NY Times... but yes I still "sweat".
Hey, I remember many here said Hillary would never make it to the Senate, but there she is...keeping a low profile but poised and ready to come to the rescue when the people call... I honestly believe the Dem primary will be hers to lose. After all she's their "last great hope". That doesn't mean she'll win the white house, but I've learned to never underestimate the power of the devil. "When good men do nothing..."
So maybe 95% is too high, but it's more than a few that "sweat" the Hillary threat. I for one sweat it because we're still not a level playing field. Hillary (the entire left wing!) can break the rules without accountability (thanks to MSM).
That is what makes this Alito victory so sweet -- we beat them UPHILL! And we are slowly leveling the field. We must continue to pack the courts with conservatives while we can. Then if we can somehow salvage (or replace?) the MSM so more Americans are regularly exposed to the truth -- maybe then we can "relax" and enjoy a government "by the people". Until then we sweat. We do not let our guard down. We do what it takes to rebuild our republic.
Ok folks. I cannot afford to do another 12 hour Alito thread lurk and partake in like I did yeaterday.
Can anyone update me on the thread as of post 1?
Mucho Gracias
Dean, who spent all their money, is going after Reid?
Holy crap!
"No. DeMint is my senator in the state of South Carolina."
That was really stupid of me, of course he is and since I am in NC, I do know that. I was thinking of DeWine. Sorry

Me Too!
Nope, you won't blow up. Only the democrats are blowing up today! :-)
Some posted a photo of John Ensign in post #448. It's got to be that, no?
Where the heck was he all morning?
Liquid breakfast with Kennedy?
Me too
You must be in NY.
In the next confirmation hearing the standard should be "is the Candidate smarter than 3 Democratic Senators at once ? " If so confirm him/her
Oh...my...gosh!! What a wonderful creation.
I agree - he could just as well be reading the ingredients off a box of cereal. Somebody take his pulse.
Just guessing, but the opening post has a link to a "donate to FR" thingamabob.
Yep, Specter is putting me to sleep.
Spector is talking about the "spying".....HUH?
I got it too.
