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?

Frist promised them more time today last week - was supposed to be an hour I think

Typical Cave Jr. By my watch, they have less than 3 minutes of that hour left; of course, they'll extend and extend and delay, deny and obfuscate.

Did anyone accuse Justice Alito of killing Coretta Scott King?

Blah, blah, Alito troubles me, blah blah, Alito eats children, blah, blah, Alito Nazi, blah blah blah



WHA...???? He EATS children???? I knew he had them strip searched and shot and kills the ones with asthma, but he actually EATS them too??? Whoa.

Obviously the senate hasn't had enough time to research this nominee. HOLD THE VOTE!!

Isn't it fun to watch the powerless minority whine about being irrelevant?

Is Reid actually suggesting that Alito will somehow ban birth control?

I don't know when he will find the time! He's already booked, pouring mercury into Ted Kennedy's streams, killing Coretta Scott King, and building the new Gestapo. He's not Superman, you know!

The Democrats think that if they keep rearranging the same words over and over, sooner or later they'll find the exact phrasing to make their specious arguments "click" with the "mainstream" and they will rise up and support the Dems in their quest for return to power!

Playing word games is something the Dems have been doing for years

They like to change the definition of words also

You'd think that ONE Dem senator would use a few minutes to congratulate Justice Alito, wish him wel and hope that he excercises judicial wisdom and temperment in the future..OOPs..these are Dems...

Great thought. They must be using this confirmation debate to generate sound bites for fundraising with the far left loonies. Nobody with half a mind is paying any attention to this idiot at this point.

If only GWB had nominated Sandra Day O'Conner, all the Rats would be happy.

Reid is the last of many Rats to pine for O'Conner over the last two days.

Harry's WAY OVER time and convincing no one. Is futility his hobby?

He's only over by a few minutes. Frist likely doesn't care about the minor delay, and will be brief. After Frist, the vote begins.

This is a small courtesy to extend. Not that the favor would ever be returned.

I wouldn't know and will not get into unfounded speculation.

Might make FR sound a bit like the DUmp. :)
