Debate continues in the Senate today on the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. At present no time has been announced for a final vote. Stop by and discuss.

Good strategy...Bring on the vote after Byrd has declared his affirmative vote!

[JerseyDvl]

OMG, this will never go down.

[Bahbah]

get to the microwave and pop that popcorn asap

Heck, I'm going to haul the microwave in here. I don't want to miss this. Here comes Dingy.

[Mo1]

Cloture .. BRING IT ON!!!

[pollyannaish]

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Blech. They ALL make my skin crawl.

I am just checking in and frankly...this is pretty surprising. Perhaps these midterms aren't shaping up like the loony left thought.

[colorcountry]

Sorry, I was marking my place...I'm at work and got distracted.....

[syriacus]

t Byrd is being challenged in West Virgina...so...this is political cover for him...

Byrd really needs to distance himself from the treacherous John D. Rockefeller IV, the guy who warned midEast leaders about the Iraq invasion.

Especially, today, since Saddam's #2 said WMDs were shipped to Syria in passenger planes from which seats were removed.
